Chocolate nut brownie

6 oz good dark chocolate
1/3cup butter
3/4cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla essence
2 eggs at room temperature
1/2 cup all plain flour
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 cup chopped nuts – hazelnuts or walnuts.
1/4 cup white chocolate chips

In a bowl, melt the chocolate and the butter together, stirring until smooth. Let cool slightly, then stir in the sugar, followed by the vanilla.
Stir in the eggs 1 at a time, then add the flour and salt. Stir until no traces of flour are visible, then add the nuts. Pour into a lined 8×8 baking pan, then bake for 22 to 25 minutes.

Let cool, then cut into squares.

Triple Chocolate Brownies

I got this recipe from Caroline. It is the richest brownie I’ve ever tasted. For the absolute chocolate hit use Green and Black’s organic dark, white and milk. Don’t over cook it whatever you do- it’s better a under than over cooked. When it’s cooked and cooled, cut it into small squares- it’s very rich, and a large portion is just too much!

185g butter
185g dark chocolate, chopped
3 eggs
275g caster sugar
85g plain flour – sifted
65g cocoa powder – sifted
185g roughly chopped white chocolate
185g roughly chopped milk chocolate

Pre heat the oven to 180C
Line a 23cm square tin with baking parchment.
Place the butter and dark chocolate in a saucepan, melt over a very low heat, stir until smooth, do not allow the mixture to get hot. Allow to cool a little.
Beat the eggs and sugar until light and creamy.
Fold through the chocolate and butter mixture.
Re-slft the flour and cocoa over the mixture and, using a metal spoon or spatula, mix to combine.
Add the white and milk chocolate then pour into the lined tin.
Bake for about 35 minutes (no longer)
Allow to cool in the tin, then cut into small squares.
