Delicious and so easy to make
Recipe type: Baking
Serves: 16
What you'll need
  • 200g block dark cooking chocolate (go for a good quality one if you can)
  • 100g unsalted butter
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup caster sugar
  • ⅔ cup plain flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 2 huge scoops of chunky peanut butter (so technical, I know!)
Instructions
  1. Break up chocolate pieces and cube the butter. Place in glass/microwave safe bowl and melt for 2 minutes 30 seconds on medium/medium high. Stir a few times.
  2. Add in eggs and mix in well.
  3. Add in sugar and stir.
  4. Add in sifted flour and baking powder (or just use self raising flour instead) and mix well.
  5. Add in peanut butter and stir well. You kind of have to break it up as you mix it in and make sure its evenly ditributed throughout the chocolate
  6. Spread into a lined square cake tin and spread towards the edges. Ask everyone to leave the kitchen to make sure that you get to lick the spatula yourself.
  7. Bake in preheated 180C/350F oven for about 20 minutes. A knife or skewer will come out clean but this is a moist brownie.
  8. leave to cool in the tin (only if you can!) or sneak out a row for yourself and then remove from the tin by lifting the paper. Cut with a sharp or serrated knife and enjoy
  9. this would keep for a couple of days in an air tight container but trust me we're lucky if this lasts 24 hours in this house
