01
Step 1
Start by warming your oven to 325°F (165°C) and lining an 8-inch square pan with parchment paper to keep the brownies from sticking. Toss the raisins in rum in a small bowl and let them soak while you get everything else ready.

Step 2
Next, heat the whipping cream gently in a small pot over medium-low heat—just until it’s hot but not boiling. Take it off the heat and stir in the chocolate chips until they melt into a smooth, glossy mixture. Let this cool a bit.

Step 3
In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, brown sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and cinnamon. Crack the eggs in one at a time, mixing gently after each addition. Pour the cooled chocolate mixture into the flour mixture and stir everything until it’s just combined.

Step 4
Now fold in the rum-soaked raisins along with any leftover rum and the pecans. Spread the batter evenly into your prepared pan. Pop it in the oven and bake for about 30 minutes, or until the top looks set and the edges start pulling away from the sides. Let it cool before cutting and serving!
