Double Dark Chocolate Brownies
This is my husband's all time favourite brownie which I have tweaked over the years until he said it was better than any other one he'd ever tasted, and would request this on a regular basis. I have adapted it from an old school Women's Weekly Mocha Brownie Recipe. I've been making this for years, pre-Thermomix days, being one of the most regularly baked item in my house!
This is amazing served warm with oozing melted chocolate by itself or with icecream, however my husband loves this in bite sized pieces in the fridge with each bite with a bit of brownie and a bit of hard crunchy chocolate!
My Milo Brownies were a twist on a traditional brownie, however this brownie is so indulgent, it is the hard core stuff that you would get at your local bakery/cafe!
This brownie has chocolate in the brownie mixture, plus extra chocolate bits stirred through. I use 100 grams Cadbury Old Gold 70% Cocoa for some of the chocolate bits as my husband loves his dark chocolate a little bitter, and I mix it with 50 grams dark chocolate chips (I use either the Costco Kirkland brand, or Nestle Dark Chocolate Bits).
