Chocolate Brownies

First and last recipe I'll ever use. Slight adaptation from that used on the BBC Good Food website, but pretty good anyway.

Makes lots.

You need:

185g butter
185g dark chocolate
40g cocoa powder
85g plain flour
275g caster sugar
3 eggs
100g milk chocolate

Preheat the oven to about 170C. Melt the butter and dark chocolate together in a bowl over a low heat. Leave to cool to room temperature. Chop the milk chocolate up into little itty bits. Sift the flour and cocoa powder together into a separate bowl somewhere. In another, biggerer bowl, whisk the eggs and sugar together until it looks like a milkshake. Once done, fold in the chocolate and butter mix, then, once that's done, do the same with the flour and cocoa. Finally, mix in the chocolate chunks. Bake for about 25-35 min in a shallow dish (I used a 25x35cm dish with baking paper underneath, worked a treat). Check with a toothpick. If it comes out dirty, put it back in for 5 minutes at a time. It should be juicy, and the top should be crispy and look like paper and the like.

Very nice...
