Brownies have been around for over a
hundred years now and are a true American treat, first created in Chicago but made their
way from coast to coast faster then it takes to bake them! If your kid is
failing in school these are all the incentive they'll need to turn those grades
around... At least they were for me...
While recipes may very, for me at its
core is good quality semi sweet chocolate and unsalted butter. As for nuts I
love walnuts, pecans, and hazelnuts in my brownies but any nut is fine or none
at all
so easy and so yummy!!

My
Mad Method
Working over a water bath melt 150g
chocolate and 120g butter, stirring while doing so, when melted half way
through, remove from heat and finish mixing until smooth
Add 2-3 TBS coco powder; you may also
add 2-3 TBS coffee or espresso if desired
Add 200g sugar, mix to combine
Add 3 eggs (I like to beet mine first
before adding them), and 1 tsp vanilla extract
Add a pinch of salt and 100g white
flour, sifted (its ok if you don't sift it)
If using nuts fold them in now, you may
also use chocolate, white chocolate or other chips
Pore into greased sheet pans or cupcake
pans
Bake in a 175c preheated oven until a
toothpick comes out slightly sticky
I am topping my brownies with a
chocolate ganache which will firm up when chilled
Serve at room temperature or chilled, ready
to eat!!!
