Chocolate Brownie Recipe

Chocolate Brownie Recipe – Wow didn’t I have some fun making these!  I just wanted to add some ingredients that I really love and I did and they looked amazing and judging by the Facebook Likes you all did too! So what did I put in my brownies well how about the most gorgeous sweet popcorn, marshmallows and all the types of chocolate milk, plain and white chocolate and of course walnuts.

Are you already wishing you could taste one right now?  Well why not make your own?  Trust me everyone in your house is gonna love you more.  I was so crazy for brownies I made two batches – The first batch I used the mini loaf cardboard boxes and the large one I just baked in my square tin.  The problem I had was once I had baked them I suddenly realised how am I going to make sure the topping looks good but stays in place.  I then decided to make a chocolate ganache to go over the top of the brownie.  This would really make a massive chocolate overload but hey when you look at those pictures is it not worth it.

PS.  I ate one and it was simply divine I could not eat in one go as it was so chocolately and I do think that the ganache made this really tasty, so I had half of it and the rest the next day but absolutely delicious!

Notes

1. I made my own popcorn but you could add some butterkist to save time
2. With the chocolate drops I used a tablespoon of each one.
3. Make sure with your large tin you add the greaseproof or parchement paper so that it makes like a handle on each side to make it easier to extract!
4. Ganache this has to be a little thick so if it is too thin just add some more chocolate to thicken
5. When checking if cooked they should be squidy in the centre but if you check with a coctail stick it should come out clean and no mixture on them.
