I found something called ‘pul biber’ from Turkey, also called
Gida Ürünleri. The texture looks the same as the picture of
urfa biber but is more red. Does anyone know if this will work
okay for the recipe?
I live in Prague, so international spices are hard to find.

Urfa biber also goes by the name isot. Jason is correct in noticing their similarity to the “aleppo pepper” – they are geographically nearby and reportedly look similar to each other. Wouldn’t bet on finding a good substitute, but I bet you can mail-order isot from almost anywhere. If I were forced into using a substitute, I’d use Aji colorado peppers.

seriously, other than sugar, flour, eggs, chocolate, and salt – i have no idea where to find all that other stuff and I have seriously gone to this website to look at these brownies like 10 times now. DAMN IT! I cant even imagine in what ISLE I would find that stuff. Imagine if all you had to shop at was a VONS …

oh yeah, these are good
I used pomegranate liquor instead of raspberry, and I kind of spilled my pomegranate molasses in, so they’re very pomegranatey, but I like the pomegranate/spicyness
They also appear to fit my brownie criteria that they should never actually completely set, but I might have used more chocolate as I was hacking off big chunks to weigh in grams

I used the urfa-bibber in Dorie Greenspan’s molasses spice cookies instead of black pepper, and it made a lovely addition. It was less obtrusive than I imagined.

On another note, maybe the couple who came up with “kittversary” and “aptiversary” (or their friends) can come up with an alternative to “mother-in-law” or “mother-in-law-to-be” (under the circumstances, this could be a long engagement…).

Right. In the next round of Blogging by Mail, I’ll be mailing urfa-biber to someone, definitely.
