I bet that got your attention and it’s been long time no brownie recipe around here. And sorry that I didn’t blog yesterday but trust me I have some great ‘I think we want to move to the country’ blog posts coming up for you. Anyway back to the chocolate. I love brownies but losing all that weight after Elodie meant there were no brownies going into the oven. And to make up for lost ground I have baked my 2nd batch in 24 hours and no it’s not me eating them all. He’s big, 6ft 2 and can’t say no to my brownies. I found the original recipe about 7 years ago and it had about 100g of chocolate but over time I’ve tweaked it to perfection! These are rich and not too sweet but just change your chocolate if you prefer a sweeter brownie.
SUPER RICH CHOCOLATE BROWNIES
200g 70% Dark chocolate, broken up into chunks
100g butter, cubed
1 cup caster sugar
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1tsp vanilla
2/3 cup SR flour
Melt on low heat with butter, stirring occasionally. Place into mixing bowl and leave to cool 5 minutes or so. Add in sugar, vanilla, eggs and lastly your sifted flour. Now at this point if you wanted to add some nuts (chopped pecans or walnuts are delicious) then now is the time. Pour into lined square baking tin and bake for about 25 minutes in 180 degree oven. You want the edges to be crispy and a knife comes out clean. Leave to rest in the tin about 5-10 minutes and then lift out by the paper, slice and enjoy.
I put mine in a tupperware container, leave it out on the kitchen bench and let retro daddy get to them after dinner!
Sounds delicious!
I do love a good chocolate brownie…the recipe I use has cocoa in replace of the choc, but it is sooooo good!
Thanks for sharing your recipe

Yummo! Looks like we’re on the same wavelength today as I cooked a most rich, moist chocolate cake of my own this morning. I’ll definatly try out your recipe in the future
Yum! We have been doing some easter baking today, I may just add this recipe to our to-do list for today!
oh yummo…thanks for sharing the recipe…just the thing for Easter…
Have a lovely Easter, and can’t wait to take the walk with you down that country lane… I too would love to move to the English country side… was born there many years ago and have longed for it ever since…
Hugs Dawn x x
Looks delish!
Looking forward to hearing your stories and the brownies look delish! Don’t last long in this house also…
That’s the trouble with baking..the temptation is there isn’t it? But at least this is not such a problem with kiddies and hubbies about.
Looks like a yummy brownie recipe and looking forward to the country posts
Выглядит очень вкусно и красиво!!
Looks moist and divine. Must try it this weekend.
mmmm!!! Yes, chocolate brownies are one of my favourites too! In fact, since baking a batch yesterday arvo I’ve been having a VERY hard time holding myself back from them – just polished off another a minute ago! It was however, a packet-mix I must confess – I am thinking I’ll need to try out your recipe next time. They sound divine!
YUM! I’m so glad you didn’t put walnuts in them either.
How do you resist actually eating them? Or even eating the mix before it goes in the oven? Mmmmmmm
They look fabulous, no wonder you are on a second batch!
Love Brownies, here is my friends fabulous Brownie recipe. It works even better with gluten free flour, and is perfect for those times when you need to do gluten free.
Cheers

I wish I didn’t have to confess that reading this post I reached for the container of chocolate brownie I made yesterday and just had to indulge in a piece – at 7am!! I guess it is Easter!
Hi Corrie – just wanted to say thanks for this recipe. I really needed a home baked goodie fix, so I made these last night. They really hit the spot xxx
