This is the recipe that was printed along with the article in the Las Cruces
newspaper last Fri.  Sunny Conley and I put our cooking skills together and
came up with it.

Habanero "Sauced" Chocolate Chile Brownies

2 eggs
1/2 cup sugar 
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup flour
2 T. cocoa powder

3/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
1/4 cup chocolate chips melted in 1 Tbs. water
1/4 cup chocolate chips
1 T. vanilla
Cool Whip or real whipped cream
Red pepper flakes (optional)

Chile puree:  Remove stems and seeds from dried New Mexican hot chiles.
Soak in simmering water 20 minutes.  Blend in blender with a small amount of
the soaking water to create a paste-like consistency.

Cream eggs and sugars.  Add flour, cocoa powder and chile paste.  Stir well.
Stir in melted margarine and melted chocolate chips.  Add nuts, chocolate
chips and vanilla.  Mix well.
 
Pour into a greased 9 x 9" glass dish and bake at 325 degrees for 35 minutes
