This recipe first appeared in Sunset back in February 1995. We've made it several times since then with the same great result each time. If you don't have pine nuts handy, chopped walnuts or almonds work just as well. Yummy.
Mexican Chocolate Brownies
Prep and Cook Time: about 45 minutes, plus 1 hour to cool. Notes: Mexican chocolate, flavored with cinnamon and sugar, is found in well-stocked supermarkets and Mexican markets. To toast the pine nuts, put them in an 8- or 9-inch baking pan in a 350° oven and bake, shaking pan often until nuts are golden, 5 to 8 minutes. Promptly remove from pan.
Yield: Makes 9 or 16 brownies
