Oh-So-Delectable Squares

Everyone loves chocolate - unless you're one of those unfortunate few who happen to be allergic to chocolate. I feel for you... I really do. 

There are endless amounts of brownie recipes out there, but after having tried this recipe out I will not be turning to anything different. These oh-so-delectable squares of chocolatey goodness are super gooey and super chocolatey. They come with a warning: HIGHLY ADDICTIVE & NOT RECOMMENDED IF DIETING. However, if you are pregnant, heart broken or simply a chocoholic, these are perfect! 

Here's the recipe:

100g unsalted butter

200g dark chocolate

4 eggs

250g golden caster sugar

100g plain flour

1tsp baking powder

30g cocoa

100g chocolate chips

1. Preheat oven to 180C. Grease and line square baking tin. 
2. Melt butter and dark chocolate over a double boiler (bowl over pan of simmering water). Once melted set aside to cool.
3. Whisk eggs and sugar together until light and fluffy. Mixture should have doubled in size.
4. Fold chocolate mixture into the egg mixture, making sure to keep as much air in as possible. Sift in flour, baking powder and cocoa and fold mixture until fully incorporated. 
5. Gently stir in chocolate chips and poor into baking tin. 
6. Bake for 25-30 minutes. Brownie should be cracked on the top and the middle just set. 
7. Cool completely before removing from tin. Cut into pieces, serve and enjoy.

When cutting the brownies, I found them to be super gooey to handle. All you need to do is pop them back in the tin and into the fridge for a few hours to allow it to set up a bit, then they'll be easier to cut.

You can also add different ingredients in, instead of chocolate chips, to change up the recipe. White chocolate, roasted hazelnuts, mini marshmallows, or even do a caramel layer before baking!
