• 2 cups granulated sugar

• 3/4 TBS OF CAYNEE PEPPER

• 4 large eggs

• 1 teaspoon PURE vanilla extract

• 1 cup all-purpose flour

• 1/2 cup GUITTARD COCOA ROUGE cocoa powder

• 1/4 teaspoon CELTIC SALT

• 1 cup GHIRARDELLI semi-sweet chocolate chips

For the Chocolate Ganache:

• 1 cup heavy cream

• 2 cups GHIRARDELLI semi-sweet chocolate chips

For the Chocolate Drizzle (Optional):

• 1/2 cup GHIRAREDLLI white chocolate chips

• 1/2 teaspoon vegetable oil

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two opposite sides for easy removal.

2. Prepare the Brownie Batter:
   

   • In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter and granulated sugar and cayanne pepper. Mix until well combined.

   • Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

   • Whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt in a separate bowl.

   • Gradually add the dry and wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.

   • Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips.

1. Bake the Brownies:
   

   • Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.

   • Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Be careful not to overbake.

1. Prepare the Chocolate Ganache:
   

   • While the brownies are baking, heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it simmer. Remove from heat.

   • Place the semi-sweet chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl.

   • Pour the hot cream over the chocolate chips and let it sit for a minute to melt the chocolate.

   • Gently whisk the mixture until smooth and glossy.

1. Assemble the Brownies:
   

   • Once the brownies are out of the oven, let them cool in the pan for a few minutes.

   • Pour the prepared chocolate ganache over the warm brownies and spread it evenly using an offset spatula.

1. Chill and Set:
   

   • Place the brownies in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until the ganache is set.

1. Add the Chocolate Drizzle (Optional):
   

   • In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips and vegetable oil in 20-second intervals, stirring after each interval until smooth.

   • Use a spoon or a piping bag to drizzle the melted white chocolate over the chilled brownies.

1. Cut and Serve:
   

   • Use the parchment paper overhangs to lift the brownies out of the pan.

   • Place them on a cutting board and cut into squares.
