Triple Chocolate Brownies

We had a little party at work for one of our colleagues who is going on maternity leave - so it was the perfect chance for me to do some baking!

I decided to bake chocolate brownies. They're an all time favourite, easy to cut up and share , go well with a cup of tea and easy to transport !

I used Jo Wheatley's triple chocolate brownies recipe. I left out the nuts.

Ingredients

100g dark chocolate, chopped
85g milk chocolate, chopped
115g unsalted butter, diced
300g caster sugar
1tsp vanilla extract or bean paste
2 large eggs, beaten
100g plain flour
50g self-raising flour
30g cocoa powder
80g Brazil nuts, chopped

You will also need:
20cm square baking tin, greased and lined with baking parchment

Method

Preheat the oven to 170°C/325°F/Gas Mark 3.

Tip the dark chocolate and 25g of the milk chocolate into a heatproof bowl. Add the butter and melt together, either in the microwave on a low setting or in the bowl set over a saucepan of barely simmering water. Stir until smooth and leave to cool slightly.

Add the sugar, vanilla and beaten eggs to the melted chocolate and butter, and mix to combine.

Sift both of the flours and cocoa powder into the bowl and mix until smooth.

Fold in the chopped Brazil nuts and the remaining 60g of chopped milk chocolate.

Spoon into the prepared tin, spread level and bake on the middle shelf of the preheated oven for 30–35 minutes.

Leave to cool in the tin, then cut into squares and serve either as a cake or as a dessert with ice cream.

I'm glad to report they went down a treat!
