the other night I posted about making some brownies, which I doctored up with Fatali peppers, which i grew and dried....
tonight, I made the ultimate brownies... with Bhut Jhlokia Ghost peppers... omg.

I'm a pepper head, this year we grew some of the hottest peppers in the world, the Ghost, and the Fatali. yes there are hotter, but they just are difficult to make them grow in Ohio.

the brownies were requested by momma, and as we dried and have stored a large quantity of Ghost peppers, I decided they had to be added...
This is something that truly must be tasted to appreciate...

9 x 13 pan sprayed with olio' or rubbed with butter..
1 cup granulated sugar
1-1/2 cup olive oil
1/3 cup water
3 eggs
OR 2 apples. OR 1-1/2 cups applesauce...
don't do the apples with the eggs, it's one or the other... apples/applesauce works good as an egg substitute...
3 tblsp vanilla extract
2-1/3 cups all purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1-1/2 cups Nestle Baking Cocoa
1/2 tsp salt

now comes the heat...
I took 2 large Ghost peppers which were dried, and ground them in our spice grinder, and added them to the dry mixture.
The last batch, I used 3 dried fatali peppers, and they have a good sting, and an awesome aroma....

toss all the dry ingredients in a half gallon ziploc bag and shake em up to mix, add the liquids, and mix well..
pour it all into the pan, and bake it in a preheated oven at 350 for 30 minutes...
let them sit a half hour, and enjoy...


pepper head brownies rock...

I upped the vanilla as it added to the flavah.. it works, you can reduce it if you wish. It won't make them bad.

Sounds interesting because I love chocolate with hot peppers but Bhut Jhlokia Ghost pepers!! I've never had them. I know they are so hot they use them for elephant repellent. Are these brownies eatable by mere mortals?

Yes, surprisingly so, Dona and I have aquired a strange affinity for them since I had prolific harvest. Once they are dried, you can grind them and be pretty safe on "just how much" is safe to add...  the Fatali peppers are by far the most flavorable tho, I kinda hoard those...
