I am the ultimate chocolatey, gooey brownie

There is no going back this Easter

Makes 12 sensational brownies

- 185g dark chocolate

- 185g slightly salted butter
- 85g plain flour
- 40g cocoa powder
- 3 eggs
- 50g golden caster sugar
- 225g caster sugar
- 75g white chocolate chips- 6 Cadbury creme eggs

(Make sure you get the best ingredients like Belgian cooking chocolate, the cheap stuff won't taste the same!)

1. Pre-heat the oven to 180 degrees and grease and line a deep, rectangular baking tin.

2. Melt the chocolate and butter in a saucepan over a low heat, stirring continuously. Leave to cool to room temperature (and try not to eat it all).

3. In a small bowl, sift together the flour and cocoa powder.

4. Take a large bowl, and whisk the eggs with the sugar until foamy and doubled in size - this may take a while and test the arm muscles!

5. Fold the cooled chocolate and butter mixture into the egg mix until combined.

6. Next, add the flour and cocoa powder and gently fold until smooth. Add around 50g of the white chocolate chips and stir.

7. Pour the brownie mixture into the baking tray, top with half of the remaining chocolate chips and bake in the oven for around 15 minutes.

8. Meanwhile, chop the creme eggs in half.

9. Remove the tray from the oven and gently place the 12 creme egg halves in rows of 4. Sprinkle with the remaining white chocolate chips, and bake in the oven for another 10 minutes.

10. Remove from the oven and leave to cool completely in the tray - the brownie will be very gooey in the middle, don't worry, it will be cooked and it will set more as it cools.

11. When cooled, cut into 12 brownies and oooo and aaahhhh over one, eat, then repeat.

Enjoy :)

Oreo brownies

I just made these and tried them hot from the oven and they are divine! It was a bit of an experiment since I couldn't find a recipe for oreo brownies that I liked, so I came up with something and was very nervous but it worked out really well. They are moist and gooey in the middle, and a little crisp and chewy around the edges - the perfect combination. And with the added crunch from the whole oreos and cookie pieces (yes, there are crushed Maryland cookies in here too!), and the soft chocolate chips they have amazing texture. Everyone should go and make these right now, you won't be disappointed.

Makes 12

- 250g salted butter

- 225g caster sugar

- 2 eggs, beaten

- 50g dark chocolate, melted

- 2 tbsp cocoa powder

- 150g plain flour

- 1 tsp baking powder

- dash of milk

- 100g milk chocolate chips

- few Maryland double chocolate chip cookies

- 12 oreos

1. Pre-heat the oven to 180 degrees and grease and line a baking dish.

2. Cream together the butter and sugar in a large mixing bowl until light and fluffy.

3. Whisk in the beaten eggs then stir in the melted chocolate.

4. Fold in the cocoa powder, flour and baking powder until mixed well.

5. Stir in a dash of milk to make the mix creamier, then add half of the chocolate chips (50g) and a few (about 4) crushed Maryland cookies and mix until well combined.

6. Pour this brownie mixture into the prepared tin and spread evenly. Press 12 oreos into the mixture.

7. Bake in the pre-heated oven for around 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with the remaining chocolate chips, and bake again for a further minute or two.

8. Leave to cool for a few minutes then cute into 12 brownies and serve hot or leave to cool further.

Enjoy :)
