As if there's not enough chocolate heaven in this mixture, Mama takes a 100 gram slab of Mint Chocolate and grates it over the raw dough.

Brownies are baked in 170 C fan oven for 30 minutes or until there's no wobble when you shake the tin.

The entire house smells like Chocolate Heaven; sorry Papa Bear, you know you can't have any, Mama Bear will make you hot cocoa drink without sugar ;)
Leave brownie to cool a little before turning out (or leave in pan if you wish)

These are wicked chewy choc brownies @therneau! I had to hide them from Papa B or he'd have to OD on the insulin! I'll courier a batch down to CT next time:):)

Oh My!!!! That is ooey, chewy, gooey goodness. I want brownies so bad now!

Must be delicious. You are right to use chocolate. This gives the best taste. You can't compare this with cocoa powder.

Definitely @jamjamfoods, the chocolate really makes this delicious and so chewy!

Hello, the brownies are the perfect temptation to break any diet, the maximum is the best, its sweet bitter taste on the palate is something that I can not explain with words, just with gestures on my face hehehehe. this recipe will copy it and someday I will. Thanks for sharing
