Photographic recipe guide. Tis win considering theres pretty much absolutely nothing healthy about this recipe. For scrawny/lanky people like myself that straddle the line between being clinically underweight, foodstuffs such as this should be mandatory just to make sure we dont waste away to nothing.

Ingredients:

250g butter
225g chocolate
300g sugar
4 eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract
225g flour
4 tbsp cocoa powder
pinch of salt
200g chocolate chips

First steps, melt the butter and chocolate in a bowl over a pan of boiling water. Dont forget to keep an eye on the temp and once it starts to melt turn it down, otherwise you run the risk of the chocolate separating into a horrible mess...

The win


Melting nicely




Once it has all melted in, mix in the sugar and vanilla extra and add a pinch of salt. The sugar and salt add extra win.


And once that has all been mixed in, add 4 beaten eggs, and the (sifted) flour and cocoa powder. Last step is to mix in the chocolate chunks. One tip is to freeze/chill them beforehand so they dont melt. Otherwise just be quick...




Add to a large baking dish/tray


Bake at ~160 degrees celcius for 30-40 mins.


Allow to cool and then enjoy the win

Id probably use dark chocolate and ditch the cocoa powder but looks suitably Yummy :q

Meh, doing it this way gives you cocoa and chocolate. This is double win.

Just using dark chocolate is only win.

But its a BIG win, 70%+ cocoa vs about 30%

Depends on the powder surely?

I find dark chocolate a bit too bitter for fudge brownies tbh, which I think should be more creamy.

Dark chocolate is fail.

This is indeed WIN. I need to try this!

BTW, I discovered the tesco value chocolate we used for the rice krispie cakes tastes great melted, but is a bit crap in normal bar form.

Cooking chocolate doesnt taste right "uncooked". Its kinda the anti-chocolate, given that usually normal chocolate when melted and cooled/resolidifed, tastes foul (thinking of melted kitkats put in the fridge...)

The brownies are pretty nice, but like all sweet things, are the food of the gods when youve just done a few miles in the heat carrying a load of kit and surveying across uneven ground etc

Do the decent thing and add some real cream then

Cream makes me feel physically ill though

Cream in this context is creamy/smooth/not bitter, not sickly sweet, and in my case actually sickening!

Brownies are being made this weekend at Casa del Clockd, evidence of win shall be provided in photographic form.

Bring on the winneth!

Well there wasnt that much win truth be told, they didnt turn out quite so well sadly, I left them in too long on too high heat. What we ended up with was more like chocolate sponge. Still tastyish I guess.

Better luck next time. At least I bought a useful tin

Before            After

Sponge isnt too bad. Tbh its potentially good for fieldwork as itd keep a bit better and might be a bit lighter on the gut for when you want to eat on the move

Yeah, it was neither WIN nor FAIL really. My oven has a really nasty habit of incinerating things, I have to drop the temperature at least 20 celcius from recommended cooking times and still have eagle eyes on it so things dont catch/bun.

Next time it will be 160 for 20 minutes and see how its going.
