Spiced Brownie Brittle

Makes 24 servings

1/4 pound (1 stick) unsalted butter

1 ounce unsweetened chocolate, broken in half

1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

1/2 cup sugar

1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 egg

1/3 cup flour

1/2 cup ground pecans, almonds, or walnuts

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the

chocolate, ginger, cinnamon, and black pepper. Remove from the heat

and stir until the chocolate is melted.

Stir in the sugar, vanilla, and egg until smooth. Stir in the flour

and beat well.

Pour and scrape the batter into a 10 x 15 x 1-inch jellyroll pan and

tilt the pan back and forth, allowing the batter to flow into a

thin, even layer across the pan. Scatter the ground nuts evenly over

the top.

Bake for 10 minutes, or until the cake is just set. Remove from the

oven and cool on a rack for 20 minutes. Cut or break into 2 dozen

rough-shaped pieces, as you would a nut brittle.
