BBQ Brownies
- 10 tablespoons unsalted butter, cubed
- 1 cup sugar
- 3/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon fine salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- Nonstick cooking spray
- 12 BBQ-flavor kettle-cooked potato chips, broken in half
- Special equipment: two 12-cup nonstick mini muffin tins
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a heatproof bowl set over (but not in) a saucepan of gently simmering water, combine the butter, sugar, cocoa powder, cinnamon and salt.
- Stir continuously until the butter is melted and the mixture is smooth and hot to the touch, about 8 minutes
- Remove from the heat and stir with a silicone spatula until cool, about 2 minutes.
- Stir in the eggs, one at a time, and then the vanilla until the mixture gets very shiny and smooth, about 2 minutes.
- Your arm may get tired but t10 more stirs and you are done!
- Now rest for a second, and then fold in the flour.
- The batter will be very thick.
- Spray two 12-cup nonstick mini muffin tins with nonstick cooking spray.
- Scoop scant 2 tablespoons of batter into each muffin cup, depending on size of tins.
- Bake until the centers have just set, 6 to 8 minutes.
- Cool briefly and then invert onto a plate or quarter-sheet tray.
- While the brownies are upside down, poke 1 piece of broken chip into the bottom.
- Turn right-side up and serve.
