Salted Ganache Brownies

Start to finish: 1 hour 15 minutes
Makes: 16 brownies 

Ingredients
For the brownies:
1 box fudge brownie mix
15-ounce can black beans, drained and rinsed

For the ganache:
½ cup dark chocolate chips
½ cup heavy cream
Kosher salt

Method
For the brownies:

Heat oven to 325 F. Butter or spray a 9-by-13-inch pan with cooking spray. Set aside.

Combine brownie mix and black beans in a food processor. Pulse until a fine meal forms, then scrape the sides of the bowl. Replace the lid and process on high until smooth, 1–2 minutes.

Spread into the prepared pan and bake to box instructions.

Place on a rack until completely cooled.

For the ganache:

Heat heavy cream in a small pot over medium heat. Add chocolate chips to a medium-sized bowl, then pour the warmed cream on top. Wait one minute, then use a spatula to stir until smooth.

Pour on top of cooled brownies and sprinkle with salt. Place in the refrigerator to set before cutting into squares.
