Chocoholics Brownies - Seriously, be warned!
Ingredients:
200gr Dark Chocolate - Broken into chunks
175gr Butter - Chopped
2 Eggs
230gr Soft Brown Sugar
40gr Cocoa
125gr Plain Flour
100gr Chocolate type 1 - chopped
100gr Chocolate type 2 - chopped
* I found an awesome selection at Aldi, 100grams of Stracciatella Chocolate (White chocolate with dark chocolate nibs in) and 100gr Coffee chocolate or milk chocolate. Coffee tends to enhance chocolate flavours but isn't to everyones taste
Method:
preheat the oven to 160 Degrees C
1: Melt the 200gr Dark chocolate with the butter in a bowl suspended in a saucepan of hot water - stir until melted and remove from the heat
2: Put the sugar in another bowl with a drop of vanilla essence
3: Crack an egg into bowl/cup and beat, add the other egg and beat some more
4: Whisk the eggs into the sugar until pale and fluffy
5: Fold the egg/sugar mix into the chocolate, add type 1 chocolate and mix
6: Sift the flour and cocoa powder together with a pinch of salt
7: Sift the flour mix into the chocolate, add type 2 chocolate and fold the mix til just about mixed
8: Pour the mix into a tin and bake for 25-30 mins or so
These are intense but moreish -be warned:
Note: I always suggest cracking each egg into a cup or some receptacle first. For one thing, it shows you the condition of the egg (if there's been a little separation etc). It also allows you to fish out any shell if need be and to add more air to the mix.
