Ingredients
250g dark chocolate
250g butter
4 eggs
320g caster sugar
150g plain flour
150g milk chocolate chips
Method
Pre heat your oven to 180ÂșC/gas mark 4. Ask for help lining a 9-inch square tin with baking parchment.
Break the chocolate into small pieces. Put the butter and chocolate into a saucepan. Ask an adult to put the saucepan on the hob on a low heat until they melt together.
Beat the eggs, sugar and flour together with a wooden spoon or a mixer. Add in the butter and chocolate and mix this in as well.
Stir in the chocolate chips and scoop the mixture into the tin.
Ask an adult to put the tin into the oven and bake it for 25 to 30 minutes. It should be shiny on top and firm around the edges. The centre should be a little soft but not runny. As it cools the centre will get harder.
Leave to cool in the tin then gently slide out onto a chopping board. You can cut the brownies as big or as small as you like. I usually cut it into about 12, but smaller ones can be cute.
