Welcome to another Chocolate Wednesday!

Finally I've found a Brownie recipe that works! Lets just say i usually stink at brownies! I cant even get the mixes to work, which is very embarrassing. But i stumbled across this brownie recipe and it works!
They taste great!

Makes 12 Brownies

4oz of chocolate chips or ( 2oz of milk chocolate and 2 oz of plain chocolate)
2 eggs
5oz Butter
10oz Caster Sugar
1/2 tsp of vanilla essence
2oz self raising flour
1oz Plain flour
2 tablespoons of cocoa powder
2oz of pecans

a deep square cake tin ( approx 8inches wide and at least 3 inches deep)

1. Heat the Oven to 180c/ 350F. Grease the tin, Line the bottom of the tin with greaseproof paper.

2. Melt chocolate over the stove in a glass bowl over boiling water or melt in microwave

3. Put Butter, Sugar and Vanilla essence in to a large mixing bowl. Beat until fluffy and light. Add eggs, slowly.

4. Sift both types of flour and cocoa powder into the bowl.

5. Add the Melted chocolate into the mix and mix well.

6. Chop the pecans finely and mix in.

7. Spoon mixture into the tin and smooth with the back of a spoon.

8. Bake the Brownies for 35 minutes until they have risen and have crust on the top and it comes out clean with a knife.

9. Leave the Brownies to cool in tin for 20minutes. Then cut them into squares.

Ta da Brownies!

2oz of Plain Chocolate
50g (2oz) butter
2 tablespoons of golden syrup/corn syrup
100g (4oz)Shredded wheat
Packet of candy-coated mini eggs
Paper baking cases
A muffin baking tray
A large saucepan

1. Place ten of the paper baking cases into muffin baking tray.

2.Break the chocolate into pieces and place these into a large saucepan.
3.Add the butter into the pan.

4.Dip a tablespoon into hot water to warm it up before using it to add the golden syrup into the pan.

5.Heat the pan stirring the mixture all the time until the chocolate,golden syrup and butter have melted.

6.Turn off the heat. Add the Shredded wheat to the mixture gently stirring them until they are covered with the chocolate.

7.Put the mixture into each of the paper baking cases. Make a small hollow in the centre of each nest with the back of a teaspoon.


8. Place 2-3 mini eggs in each case.

9. Put in fridge until set. You can leave or take off the cases.
