These cinnamon, almond, vanilla and orange scented pecan brownies are chewy as opposed to the fudgy or the cakey brownie. They’re rather soft and moist inside but slightly crusty outside, a wonderfully contrasting state of affairs. Mexican chocolate comes in “tablet” of varying weights, none adding up precisely to the amount called for here, which means you will need to use a scale. These brownies are not only good the day after they’re baked they’re actually better than when fresh from the oven.Source unknown
