PAGE 6 - WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 2018 www.thewestfieldnews.com THE WESTFIELD NEWS FOODTRAVEL COOKING ON DEADLINE One-Pot Mexican Hot Chocolate Brownies Mexican hot chocolate is a beloved beverage made from chocolate (yup, got it) and often cinnamon and another spice or two to bring up the heat. The combina- tion of spicy and chocolate just plain works, and I wanted to see how it would translate into another beloved treat, the good old American brownie. A few things to note: 1) Yes, yes, I get the humor in having the word “pot” and “brownies” in the title. I have another One Pot Fudgy Brownie in The Mom 100 Cookbook, and I’ve had to answer for the word choice more than a few times. Tee hee, very funny, but seriously, they are in fact made in one pot, so cleanup is awesome. 2) The kick from the spices — cayenne and cinnamon — is at first subtle, then more pronounced, and then fades, which means of course that you must go back and have another bite. And another. You could also add a pinch of ancho chili powder instead of the cayenne, or in addition to it if you’re feeling frisky as all get out. Don’t substitute regular chili powder or chili spice blend. These mixes have additional spices in them, like This undated photo provided by America’s Test Kitchen in September 2018 shows garlicky roasted shrimp with oregano and garlic, and while they might work wonder- parsley and anise in Brookline, Mass.

New Boat Ramp Continued from Page 1 The addition of the South boat ramp could be a tremen- dous benefit for the community as the Congamond Lakes features nearly 80 bass fishing tournaments per year from April through November. Congamond Lake is well stocked with largemouth bass, yellow perch, black crap- pie, and trout. A number of fisherman throughout the local area were also in attendance for the event, including members of the Northeast Bass Anglers, a local bass fishing club out of Agawam. Mark Consolini of the Northeast Bass Anglers is excited to now have access to both a North and South boat ramp for fishing and boating access on Congamond Lake. “Two ramps is just huge,” said Consolini. “It makes life a lot easier for everybody.” Fish and Game’s Office of Fishing and Boating Access provides opportunities to lakes and bodies of water across Massachusetts, including 1,200 miles of seashore.
