I had my Weber Smokey Mountain smoker going the other day to make some Tasso ham and to smoke some beans. After the cooking was done, I decided to whip up this great recipe for Barb’s royal brownies that I found in the most recent copy of Chile Pepper magazine (sadly, no longer around!).
Since this came from a magazine devoted to all things zesty, I knew that the brownies would have some great kick, and they did. They were fantastic! Chewy, chocolatey, a hint of smokiness, and just a bit of kickin’ spice. Absolutely great with some of my homemade Neapolitan ice cream.
The ‘Barb’ in this case is Barbara Milroy, one of the owners of Texas Rib Rangers Products. Pick up a few bottles of their rubs and sauces, you’ll love them. And tell them how much you love Barb’s Royal Brownies.
Making dessert on the grill or smoker is fun. Also try my grilled strawberry shortcake with lemon cream.
