Chili Chocolate Brownies
-
350g/12ozs good-quality dark chocolate, chopped finely
-
120g/4ozs butter, chopped
-
1/3 cup/75g/2.6ozs caster sugar
-
2 eggs, beaten lightly
-
1 cup plain flour
-
1 tsp Herbie's Chili Hit (or medium strength plain chili powder-not the chili powder with other spices added to it for a chili stew)
-
100g/3.5ozs additional good-quality dark chocolate, coarsely chopped (I used Cocolo Organic Fairtrade Chocolate)
-
Icing sugar for dusting
-
Preheat oven to 180C. Grease a 19cm square cake pan with butter. Line base and 2 opposite sides with non-stick baking paper.
-
Combine finely chopped chocolate and butter in a medium saucepan. Use a metal spoon to stir over low heat until melted. Add sugar and cook, stirring for a further 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
-
Add eggs, flour & Herbies Chilli Hit. Stir until well combined. Then stir chocolate chunks through. Spoon into prepared pan and smooth surface. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until a skewer inserted into centre comes out almost clean (the centre of brownie will still be fudgy). Set aside to cool for 1 hour.
-
Cut into squares, dust with icing sugar and serve.
