Description
These chocolate and salted peanut brownies are super moist and soft. The chocolate gives it a fudgy texture combined with the nutty flavor of peanuts which makes it a satisfying dessert. The salty flavor of the peanuts is irresistible in this sweet delight.
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 170°C (150° fan)/325 F/ gas 3 and oil and line a 20cm x 20cm/ 8''x 8'' square cake tin.
- Melt the chocolate, cocoa and butter together in a saucepan, then leave to cool a little.
- Whisk the sugar and eggs together with an electric whisk for 3 minutes or until very light and creamy.
- Pour in the chocolate mixture and sieve over the flour, then fold everything together with the peanuts until evenly mixed.
- Scrape into the tin and bake for 35-40 minutes or until the outside is set, but the centre is still quite soft, as it will continue to cook as it cools.
- Leave the brownie to cool completely before cutting into 12 rectangles and scattering over some salted peanuts.
