Decadent & Delicious Brownie Bites

Decadent & Delicious Brownie Bites

Who can turn down sumptuous and gooey chocolate brownies. 

Actually, who can turn down chocolate full stop. These rich brownies are delicious, 

especially with the sticky sour cherries and crunchy walnut pieces.

If entertaining, serve with some creme fraiche or mascarpone for an easy dessert.  

Ingredients: 

190g Unsalted Butter

200g Dark Chocolate, 70% min cocoa solids, broken up

75g Dried Sour Cherries

50g Walnuts, chopped

80g Cocoa Powder, sifted

65g Plain Flour

1 Teaspoon Baking Powder

340g Caster Sugar

4 Large Eggs 

Method:

1. Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4. Line a 25cm square baking tray with greaseproof paper.

2. In a large bowl over some simmering water, melt the butter and the chocolate, and mix until smooth.

3. Add the cherries and the nuts and stir together. In a separate bowl, mix the cocoa powder, flour, baking powder and sugar then add this to the chocolate, cherry and nut mix. 

4. Stir together well, beat the eggs and mix until there is a silky consistency. 

5. Pour the brownie mixture into the baking tray, and bake for about 35 minutes (have a look, mine were too gooey at 25 minutes, so I left mine in for longer). 

6. The brownies should be springy when touched and gooey in the middle, let it cool fully in the tray before transferring. 

7. Cut into small and bitesize chunks and enjoy!

LIPSTICK & MARZIPAN *TIP*: 
Substitute the cherries and nuts for your own flavourings. Such as orange zest, white chocolate chunks, chocolate chips, dried raspberries... The list goes on, see what your favourite flavours are.

LIPSTICK & MARZIPAN *TIP*: 
These are very very rich and chocolatey, so cut into small bitesize pieces!
