Difficulty:  2 out of 5 difficulty
Preparation Time: 10 minutes
Cooking Time: 40 minutes
Number of servings: 12 greedy/ 18 stingy-its worth making such large portions because these brownies always disappear surprisingly quickly
Serving suggestions: Works well with double cream/chocolate or vanilla ice cream


These are very rich and not the healthiest option, however a little treat now and then is fine!

Is it the same temperature for a fan assisted oven? Thanks. OK, we don't have a fan oven but having asked around we are told that if you are using a fan oven reduce the cooking temperature by 20C less than the recipe states and keep the same cooking time. We can't promise this but hope the advice helps. The Cookit Team
