easy peasy brownies


i freaking love these amazing brownies, so quick... so easy... and so good. i made them for mum and dad's anniversary party and they all got eaten. yum yum yum. like i said, easy as, very chewy and very chocolatey - even without added chocolate, just cocoa!!

so for all those who asked, here is the recipe:

brownies :)

-200g butter
-1/2 cup cocoa
-2 cups packed brown sugar
-1 teaspoon vanilla essence
-1 cup plain flour
-2 eggs
-1/2 cup chopped walnuts (these are totally optional!! i've also tried peanuts (if you only have salted ones in the cupboard - then rinse them off!!) )

1. grease a 20 x 30cm tin, pre-heat oven to 180 deg cel
2. put cocoa and butter in a big saucepan on a very low heat, melt gently and mix together. do not boil!!
3. add sugar and vanilla, stir very well
4. take off heat, sift in flour, stir it in
5. add eggs, beat in really well (add chopped nuts here if you want them!!)
6. spread mixture evenly in tin, bake for 20 - 25 mins


we often eat them for dessert - 30 seconds in the microwave with a scoop of vanilla icecream on top.
absolute bliss!
