Ingredients

Method

1.Preheat oven to 170°C fanbake. Grease and line a 26 x 26cm tin.
2.Place the butter and chopped dark chocolate in a bowl and gently heat in the microwave until melted (or in a bowl over boiling water).
3.Beat in the sugar, vanilla and eggs.
4.Add the flour and cocoa and stir until well combined and the mixture is smooth. Add the chopped milk chocolate or buttons and stir briefly to combine.
5.Pour into tin and bake for 30 minutes or until soft in the middle and firm around the edge. My kids prefer a firmer brownie so sometimes I cook it a little longer.
6.Remove from oven and leave to cool in the tin. Cut into pieces when completely cooled and store in an airtight container.

Can be used as chocolate soil crumbled on top of ice cream or cupcakes, or slightly shorten the cooking time and serve it as a warm, sticky dessert.
