Okay, I'm not an evil person, but I have 5 kids. Whenever I grab food, my kids are like baby birds, hoovering around me squeaking until I give them a bite. But with 5 kids I wouldn't get any part of the food if I gave them all a bite. So, I do what every parent does, I tell them it's hot and they won't like it. But there's a problem. My kids know I say food is hot, so they laugh and ask for the bite again. When AI created a new recipe for chili brownies, I knew what I had to do.

I had to make the brownies, tell my kids they were hot, then let my kids eat said brownies. Anyway, here's the result:

I asked AI to create a brand-new recipe. Something that can't be found on the internet. At first, it created some decent sounding meals. But they weren't unique enough for me. Here's a quick list of recipes it created:

But after I told Microsoft Copilot to get even crazier. Here's what it came up with!

Chocolate Chili Brownies

Ingredients:

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Brownies:
    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8x8 inch baking pan.
    • In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Remove from heat and stir in the sugar, eggs, and vanilla.
    • Beat in the cocoa, flour, salt, baking powder, chili powder, and cayenne pepper until well blended.
    • Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool completely before cutting into squares.
  2. Prepare the Chocolate Sauce:
    • In a small saucepan, combine the dark chocolate chips, heavy cream, butter, and maple syrup. Heat over low heat, stirring constantly, until the chocolate is melted and the sauce is smooth.
