HOT CHOCOLATE BROWNIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 9-by-13-inch baking pan with aluminum foil, and spray with the cooking spray.
• Stir together the butter, sugar, eggs and vanilla in a medium bowl. Add the flour, hot chocolate mix, salt and baking powder and stir until just combined. Stir in half the chocolate chips. Spread the mixture in the prepared baking pan.
• Bake until the brownies begin to pull away from the edges of the pan and are set in the center, 30 to 35 minutes. Remove from the oven, immediately sprinkle with the remaining chocolate chips, and let stand until they are very soft, about 5 minutes. Spread the melted chips evenly with a spatula, and let cool for about 10 minutes. Use the foil to lift the brownies out of the pan, and let cool completely on a rack. Cut into 24 squares, and top each with 3 mini marshmallows.

AARON SANCHEZ'S MEXICAN BROWNIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two sides. Press the paper into the corners of the pan and lightly grease the paper with butter.
• Melt the 2 sticks of butter in a nonstick saucepan over medium-low heat; do not boil. Remove from the heat and let cool slightly. Add the sugar, eggs and vanilla to the saucepan and stir with a wooden spoon until combined.
• Add the cocoa, flour, cinnamon, chili powder, salt and baking powder and mix until smooth. Spread the batter in the prepared pan and bake until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out fudgy, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool in the pan on a rack, then use the parchment paper to lift out the brownies before slicing.

MAYAN HOT COCOA

Steps:

• Sift the cocoa powder and flour.
• Measure out 4 cups of milk. From the 4 cups of milk, slowly whisk about 1/4 cup of it, a little more if necessary, into the cocoa/flour mix until it becomes a paste. If you add milk too fast, you get clumpy cocoa. If that happens, use a hand blender to smooth it out.
• When all the cocoa and flour are a paste (no more dry flour,) add the remaining spices (sugar, nutmeg, cloves, peppers, and cinnamon).
• Heat the rest of the 4 cups of milk in a double-boiler or a saucepan over medium.
• Add the cocoa/flour/spices mix to the hot milk in the double-boiler. Stir constantly to keep it from burning.
• If you prefer a slightly thicker drink, you can add the optional cornstarch/water mixture now. Continue stirring on the heat until it's to your desired thickness. Not too long; you don't want to be forced to use a knife and fork. ;D.
• When the cocoa is ready (it takes about 10-15 minutes until the flavor and heat level are *just right*), strain the cocoa in a fine sieve to remove the cloves and cinnamon pieces. (Careful, it could splatter - I found out last night. *grrr*) Then add the powdered sugar and vanilla and stir.
• If you like, you can put whipped cream on top, add small marshmallows, or add a stick of cinnamon for stirring.

MAYAN HOT CHOCOLATE

Steps:

• Mix the hot chocolate mix, cinnamon, and cayenne pepper together in a mug.
• Pour the milk into a glass measuring cup; heat in microwave on High until it begins to boil, about 2 minutes. Slowly pour over the mixture in the mug, stirring with a small whisk as you pour. Enjoy immediately.

• In a medium-size saucepan, combine cream or milk, vanilla bean and cinnamon stick.
• Heat over medium flame until bubbles appear around the edge.

• Whisk occasionally until chocolate is melted and sugar dissolves.
• Turn off heat.
• Remove vanilla bean and cinnamon stick, stir in ground almonds or hazelnuts.

MAYAN HOT CHOCOLATE BROWNIES

Steps:

• 1. Pre-heat oven to 350. Spray 13 x 9 cake pan with non-stick cooking spray or grease bottom.
• 2. In a large bowl, mix together oil, sugar and eggs. Mix dry ingredients (including 1tsp cinnamon, 1/2 tsp chili powder & 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper) in a separate bowl and then combine. Stir together to incorporate, 50 strokes.
• 3. Spread into prepared pan and bake for 30 minutes at 350 until a toothpick inserted one inch from the edge comes out clean. When done, set aside to cool slightly.
• 4. Mix the frosting with the final 1 tsp of cinnamon and spread over brownies. I like to spread mine on while still slightly warm so the frosting melts onto the brownies almost like a glaze.
• 5. Top with mini-marshmallows lightly sprinkled (through mesh strainer) with cinnamon &/or cocoa powder if desired.
