Very easy recipe and they are delicious

I make the Nigella ones and put in 2 chopped up big bars of milky bar . Also I half the quantity and use a smaller tin. It's never let me down!

wolfcub the recipe is still there! You made me panic a bit there. Search "Best-ever brownies."

We love Paul Hollywood's recipe. It is in his Baking book. It contains cranberries and walnuts which really offset the dark chocolate in a lovely way.

The Nigel ones have just come out of the oven. They look immense. I'm leaving them in the tin to cool, and will treat myself to a huge one when I've come back from my run Grin

CakeNinja - PUT THEM IN THE FRIDGE BEFORE YOU CUT THEM!!

Hero1callylost · 26/01/2016 18:44

This one is the BEST!

Think it's the same as
70isalimitnotatarget and AnUtterIdiot's recipes

I've made 2 batches in the last fortnight, v popular in my house. They keep very well too.

Great as a desert - whizz in the microwave for 15-20 seconds and add schushy cream - HEAVEN!!

Nothing useful to add but a shameless placemark, these recepies look delicious

CakeNinja · 26/01/2016 21:24

Oh shit, didn't read the bit about putting them in the fridge before cutting Sad
What would that have done?
They're pretty good already, would have preferred a thicker crust on the top though, but they have a very fine crisp layer and then pure gooey squidgy heaven Grin

ErgonomicallyUnsound · 26/01/2016 21:45

It just makes them easier to cut. Grin

CakeNinja · 26/01/2016 23:16

Ah okay, well they did cut absolutely fine anyway, but I've now put them in an airtight container in the fridge to be on the safe side!
DC had them still warm with a dollop of clotted cream. Yum.

I just snaffled mine straight from the side in about 3 seconds after my run - it was 8 miles so I'm optimistically thinking I earnt it Grin

Thank you pearsoup
