Melt In The Mouth Chocolate Brownies

This recipe makes approx 15 brownies.

Ingredients

• 150g dark chocolate
• 150g butter (unsalted works best)
• 3 large eggs
• 225g caster sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 100g plain flour
• Pinch of salt
• 125g dried fruit or nuts if desired.

Method

• Heat the oven to 180C.
• Melt the butter and chocolate together over a pan of simmering water (ensure the bowl does not rest in the water). Once melted leave aside to cool.
• Add the eggs, sugar and vanilla together and beat well using an electric mixer.
• When the chocolate mixture has cooled, add in the egg mix and beat again.
• Sieve in the flour and salt and beat until smooth and there are no lumps.
• Add the dried fruit and / or nuts if using.
• Pour the mixture into a well greased baking tray that has been lined with parchment paper. that overhangs the sides slightly
• Make sure it is even and bake in the oven for 20 to 25 minutes. They will be done when the top has formed a crust and has started to crack.
• Remove from the oven and leave to cool in the tin for 30 minutes, if you can wait!
• Once cooled, cut into squares and lift out using the overhanging parchment paper.
• Peel away paper and tuck in!
