Brownies - are they meant to be moist - if so, how?

[mejon]

Made some brownies at the weekend and they were a bit dry to be honest and the chocolate bits I'd added to it had vanished. I'm presuming they are meant to be a bit moist, if so, how do I make them like that. Should the choc bits have been pieces of cooking chocolate or will pieces of 'normal' choc do? Thank you!

They should be moist and gooey. The Nigella recipe I use makes a very big batch but cooking is only 180C for 25 minutes - they're still runny at that stage but harden up a bit as they cool. Normal choc will do.

I misread your title - and thought you were talking about brownies as in guides and brownl owl etc !!

My mind was boggling

need new recipe

made a WI one at weekend and it was vile

the WI

There was a wonderful recipe somewhere on Mumsnet from Suzywong....
Mejon - the better the choc you use, the nicer they will be.

Thank you everyone - I'll have a look for the Suzywong one and see how I go!

As for you thockenholt - !!

throckenholt, so did I.

(you must be another non-baker )
