Barbecue Chile Chocolate Brownies

Grilled brownies—yes, that’s right. Brownies are simple to cook on a barbecue, and this recipe is really easy. The ancho chile pepper works so well with the chocolate in these brownies. Ancho chiles (a.k.a. dried poblano peppers) are fruity, smoky, and not too hot. It is definitely worth adding the chunk of cherrywood to the coals to get a very light, sweet-cherry smoke.
Editor’s note: If you don't have golden caster sugar, you can make a substitute for it by grinding raw, turbinado, or demerara sugar in a spice grinder until fine. You may also use light brown sugar or regular caster sugar. You can cook these brownies on a gas grill—just use only half of the burners for the same indirect-heat effect.
