Little Devils Tower Brownies

In Murder in Custer State Park, Merritt and the Playhouse crew hike 'Little Devil's Tower,' one of the popular hiking trails in the Black Hills.

Here is a gluten-free recipe of 'Little Devils Tower Brownies', these decadent cake like chocolate treats are best baked in a brownie tin (to prevent sticking) or in muffin pans.  Martha Stewart's baking tins from Macy's work the best in my experience.  I recommend 'If You Care' eco-friendly muffin wrappers. 

Ingredients:
4 oz. chocolate chips (Enjoy Life Chocolate Chips)
1/2 cup butter
1 1/4 cups of sugar
Vanilla (1 teaspoon or to taste)
pinch of Salt
3 eggs
3/4  cups Gluten Free AP Flour (Adele's recipe: 1/4 cup tapioca flour, 1/4 cup white rice flour, 1/4 cup brown rice flour, 1/4 cup corn starch, 1/4 cup sorghum flour - mix together, multiply to make numerous cups at once)

1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum (mixed with flour)
*You can add baking powder if you want a cakier version or live at sea level. 

~
Melt chocolate and butter together ( I put on medium heat and stir)
Mix eggs, sugar and chocolate/butter melted mix with spoon
Stir in flour.

Set the oven for 350 degrees

Bake for 25 minutes (if doing a full pan), if doing mini muffins I suggest checking with a toothpick every seven minutes.

You can add mint if you want a 'chocolate mint' taste...
