Ingredients
250g plain chocolate, chopped
175g unsalted butter
3 eggs
25g Splenda granulated sweetener
60g self-raising flour
1 tsp baking powder
100g walnuts, roughly chopped
Method
Preheat the oven to 190ËšC. Grease and line a shallow 27cm x 18cm baking tin with greaseproof paper.
Put the chocolate and butter in a heatproof bowl and rest it over a saucepan of gently simmering water.
Leave until melted, stirring frequently. Alternatively, melt in the microwave for two minutes at maximum power.
Whisk the eggs in a bowl, gradually whisking in the sweetener until combined. Whisk in the melted chocolate mixture.
Sift the flour and baking powder into the bowl.
Add the walnuts and stir the ingredients together until just combined.
Turn into the tin and spread the mixture into the corners. Bake for about 15 minutes or until the surface is set but the mixture feels very soft underneath. Leave to cool in the tin. Cut into squares and store in an airtight tin.
