Beat the sugar into the chocolate mixture using an electric mixer. Add the eggs one at a time until all combined. Sift in the flour and beat until the mixture is smooth. Add the chilli, remaining chocolate and almonds.

Pour the mix into the tin and bake for 30 minutes or until the skewer inserted into the brownie comes out clean.
Step 5
Allow to cool. Cut into squares and serve.
