Triple Chocolate Brownies

Hope you have all had a good week! Sorry it's a day late but had a very busy weekend! Here is this weeks bake - Triple Chocolate brownies

ingredients (Makes 1 medium cake)

• 190g softened unsalted butter 
• 190g best-quality dark chocolate
• 3 large eggs
• 1/2 tablespoon vanilla essence
• 250g caster sugar
• 115g plain flour
• 1/2 teaspoon of salt
• chocolate chips (milk & white chocolate)

method

• Preheat the oven to 180°c or 160°c fan. Lightly grease the tray tin with a little soft butter, holding it in a scrap of baking paper.
  
• Melt the butter and chocolate together in a large saucepan. In a mixing jug, beat together the eggs, sugar and vanilla. Then in a bowl mix together the flour and salt.
  
• When the chocolate mixture has melted, let it cool a bit before beating in the egg and sugar, and then the flour and chocolate chips. Beat to combine smoothly and then scrape out of the saucepan into the lined tray.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Bake for 25 minutes. When it's ready, the top should be dried to a paler brown speckle, but the middle still dark, dense and gooey. Remove from oven and leave to cool in the tray. They will continue to cook as they cool.
  
• When cool turn out and cut into pieces and place on serving plate. 
  

Variations; You can put what you like in the brownies such as walnuts, dried cherries or hazelnuts.  I have gone with chocolate chips as my family and I are not really a fan on nuts.
