and then another friend jumped in with the idea that the brownies with chunks of chocolate and that chocolate topping that I put on slices would be even better.
This is why there are double choc or triple choc brownies being made.When I checked with her and asked too much? Her reply was never.
This recipe makes a large amount of brownies, halve the recipe for a smaller tray.
The triple choc brownies also make a great dessert, serve with cream, icecream - try orange or coffee flavoured or fresh berries.
Double or Triple Choc Brownies
Ingredients Double Choc Brownies
250 gms butter
400 gms dark
chocolate/2 large blocks – I prefer 70%cocoa
4 eggs
2 cups dark brown sugar
2 cups plain
flour
4 tablespoons Dutch Cocoa
200 g block dark chocolate cut into small chunks or dark chocolate buttons
1 tablespoon
vanilla extract (not essence)

To Make Triple Choc Brownies
200 g dark chocolate
1/3 cup cream or 80 g butter
2 teaspoons vanilla
Melt chocolate and cream(butter) together and spread of double choc brownies.
Note
I use butter if I want the topping to set firm and cream for a dessert or when the frosting can be softer.

Method
Place chocolate and butter in
glass bowl and melt in microwave. Use medium
heat. It should take about 3 minutes. Alternative method, use a bowl over hot
water. Stir regularly until mixture is smooth.
Add brown sugar to mixture and stir
well, then add vanilla, flour, cocoa and eggs. Mix well
Stir in chocolate chunks.
Place mixture into a greased and
lined tin.
Bake at 1600 until
firm on the edges and slightly soft in the middle. It will take about 40-60
minutes depending on the depth of the tin. See below.
Allow brownies to stand for a few
minutes and then lift out and place on cooling rack.
Cut up brownie and place in an
airtight container or jar.
I use a large slice tin - mine is rectangular, approximately 21 cm wide, 29 cm
long and 3 cm deep. For a half quantity I use a square cake tin 18cm wide,18cm
long and 4cm deep.
