Silk Road Brownies, with Warm Spices and Chili Flakes

As you might know, I am a huge fan of Burlap & Barrel, the purveyors of single origin spices. They are unique, they are ethical and, hand down, make my food taste a million times better.

Quite sweet, very unique. You might need some milk with these!
