My New Favourite Chocolate Brownie Recipe

I realised last week whilst watching The Hairy Bakers "Mum Knows Best" that I don't have any family recipes. So during the show I phoned my Mum with a list of my favourite family recipes & asked her to ask my family for their recipes. 

I have asked for the following, to start me off.

Grandads Victoria Sponge Recipe - the lightest sponge in the world 

Auntie Sue's Pavlova Recipe - Her Dinner Party Party Piece

Auntie Viv's Flapjacks - No one has ever made one close to hers, a fond childhood memory food

My Dad's Fish Pie - A must have dinner on every visit to see them!

I was having a good old read of all your blogs last night an I noticed that Julie of KC'sCourt had made a Custard Tart. It was my Nanna's favourite cake for a Saturday tea normally from M&S, but I though gosh I wish I had a recipe so I could make it. I sadly don't have any of her recipes.

So I asked Julie and she has kindly sent me her recipe.

She also commented on my Marshmallow Brownies I made yesterday, and asked if I had the recipe so I thought I would share the Brownie Love & here it is.

I actually got it from the Free Morrisons Magazine that I picked up yesterday with the weekly shop.

And now it is my Favourite brownie recipe by far, and soo quick and easy to make.

It makes 15 Brownies

Prep takes about 20 minutes

Cooking about 30

And they are suitable for the freezer

Ingredients

180g Butter - I used Stalk

150g Dark chocolate

3 Eggs

270g Golden Caster Sugar - I used white caster sugar

50g Cocoa Powder

80g Plain Flower

50g Mini Marshmallows

How to Make Marshmallow Chocolate Brownies

1. Place the butter & chocolate in a bowl over a pan of gently simmering water and heat gently until it melts, let it cool.
2. Pre Heat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4
3. Line the base of a 28 x 18cm baking tin with baking parchment. (I lined the sides too)
4.   Whisk together the eggs and caster sugar, until pale, thick & creamy.
5. Sift in the cocoa powder and flour and fold it into the egg & sugar mixture with a spatula or metal spoon.
6. Pour in the cooled melted chocolate mixture in a thin stream and gently fold it in along with the mini marshmallows.
7. Keep a few marshmallows back for decoration.
8. Spoon/pour the mixture into the prepared tin.
9. Bake in the oven for 20 to 25 minutes, I only let them cook for this time so that they stayed gooey inside. They are done when they start to come away from the edge and the top it glossy like paper.
10. If they still wobble when you check them put them back in for a few more minutes.
11. Allow to cool completely (if you can resist) and cut into 15.
12. Sprinkles with the left over marshmallows & eat Mmmmmmmmmmmm.

So there we are my first recipe to add to my new recipe book which I will be covering like the little notebooks I sold on Saturday.

I also took some of my cards, broaches & hair bobbles into work and sold loads and I have more commissions so I must get to work after tea and make more............

Have a great week
