Mexican Brownies

1 cup cocoa

1 1/4 cup flour

1 tsp ground black pepper

1/2 tsp salt

2 1/2 tsp cinnamon

3 cup sugar

1 TBSP vanilla

7 eggs, lightly beaten

3/4 cup melted butter

Mix the cocoa, flour and seasonings; set aside.  In medium bowl mix the butter and the eggs.  Add vanilla.  Stir egg mix into the flour until just combined.  Pour into a greased 9X13" pan.  Bake for 35-40min at 350*F.  Makes 24 bars

*Optionally you can frost them like I did.  Just make your favorite chocolate frosting and add 1 tsp of cinnamon and 1/2 tsp of black pepper.  Spread on cooled brownies.
