Fudgy Chocolate Brownie Recipe

I'm going to give you the ultimate fudgy chocolate brownie recipe that both children and adults will adore. The best thing is that this recipe is mixed by hand so no need to bring out the mixer!

Can this recipe be altered to add variations like chocolate chips, nuts or dried berries?

Of course! Simply coat 100g of chocolate chips, dried berries or nuts in one teaspoon of plain flour and add it to the mixture at stage 6 of the method.

Can I make these brownies in advance?

Yes! These brownies are perfect for freezing, you can make them up to 1 month in advance. All you need to do is thaw them overnight in the refrigerator then bring to room temperature before serving.
