Chocolate Brownies: Another Baking Post

I'm deviating from current trend of ranting about advertising campaigns to share with you, a little slice of heaven - if you will. Now I've made these several times and every single time - they've gone down like hotcakes (or hot chocolate brownies).

So here I share my recipe for the best non-shop-bought Chocolate Brownies you've ever tasted. So bake, eat, sit back and watch the love come rolling in.

• 225g Unsalted Butter
• 100g Dark Chocolate
• 200g Caster Sugar
• 3 Large Eggs
• 50g Plain Flour
• 50g Cocoa Powder
• Pinch of Salt
• White Chocolate Drops

To Decorate:

• 20g White Chocolate (melted and drizzled)
• 20g Dark Chocolate (melted and drizzled)
• Icing Sugar (to dust) 

   1. Heat oven to 180c.

   2. Put the butter and chocolate into a pan and heat slowly over a small flame until it's a beautiful chocolatey liquid of goodness. Something likes this;

   

   3. Put the sugar and eggs in a bowl and mix well.

   4. Whisk the above pictures saucepan full of buttery chocolate goodness in with the less-appealing bowl               of sugar and egg mix.

   5. Sift the flour, cocoa powder and salt into the bowl, a bit at a time, and mix thoroughly. Then stir in the white choc drops.

   

   6. Transfer the mixture into a 20.5cm greased square tray (make sure it's relatively deep).

   7. Top Tip - Bang the tray a few times to expel any large air bubbles.

   8.  Bake for 25 mins. You'll know when they're done when you poke a skewer or some-such long pointy device into the middle and it comes out clean. It should however still look squidgy - means they're moist, like all good brownies should be!

     

      

Enjoy and try not to eat them all at once.
