Chef's Tips

For a more intense mole flavor, you can use up to 1/2 cup of mole negro paste.

If you don't have mole negro paste, you can use a good quality mole negro sauce, but reduce the amount to avoid a watery batter.

Don't overbake the brownies or they will be dry. They should be slightly fudgy in the center.

Allow brownies to cool completely before cutting to prevent them from crumbling.
