Spicy Brownies Recipe

Spicy Brownies Notes

This is a variation on a family recipe for traditional brownies. The combination of cinnamon, anise, and cayenne pepper gives these brownies a somewhat Mexican flavor. The brownies are halfway between being cake-like and fudge-like in texture, and have a nice, slightly crunchy crust on top and around the edges.
