Cooking Tips and Tricks

• To enhance the flavors of these brownies, try adding a pinch of sea salt on top before baking for a sweet and salty combo.
• If you prefer a milder heat, reduce the amount of cayenne pepper or omit it altogether.
• For a dairy-free version, swap the butter for coconut oil and use dairy-free chocolate chips.

When photographing these spicy brownies, experiment with different angles to capture the rich colors and textures of the dish.
