Mexican Hot Chocolate Brownies come together so simply with ingredients you already have in your pantry! It is a rich and fudgy chocolate brownie with a little kick (thanks to the help of some tasty Mexican spices) and a nutty browned butter frosting. Every bite is absolutely bursting with flavor and you are going to go crazy over this recipe!
We are so excited to be partnering with International Delight® to bring you another fabulous recipe. I don’t know about you, but I love my coffee so I always have creamer in the house. I have found this to be an amazing convenient ingredient in cooking and baking sweets. So, of course when I started thinking about Mexican Hot Chocolate Brownies I thought of International Delight.
What’s in Mexican Hot Chocolate Brownies
This amazing treat will blow your mind. A perfectly fudgy brownie is enough to make me swoon, but load it up with cinnamon and a sprinkle of cayenne pepper for a warmth and little kick that will keep you coming back for more! The frosting… Oh my heavens! Browned butter. Can you see those little flecks of the browned butter in the frosting? It is absolutely heavenly. Creamy and nutty. What more could you ask for?
These brownies are so easy that Munchkin did most of the work and her hand modeling skills are on point! Wouldn’t you say? Well, we couldn’t keep our hands out of the brownies that’s for sure.

nice post
Hi! I'm in the UK and we don't have coffee creamer – can you suggest an alternative recipe for the frosting? Thanks!
Use heavy cream, and French vanilla extract, with a bit of icing sugar.
I'm just seeing this recipe and was thinking maybe the creamer was just to add a little vanilla flavor so I think I would just add maybe a tablespoon or 2 of the sugar and add vanilla flavoring instead. Anyway, that's what I plan on doing.
There is nothing better than a brownie with a kick and this has the perfect amount of heat! LOVED THEM!
oh my goodness the best brownies I,ve ever made! the frosting is amazing but next time I will double the frosting YUMMY!!!
Are they okay to make a day ahead before serving them.
hubby….really enjoys these brownies….
added a few extra items to pull chocolate out…. 1 teaspoon espresso powder along with a hand full of small chocolate chips. make a double the frosting adding vanilla extract…..yum
