Hello Everyone! Welcome back to our blog. Today's blog post is by Lydia and is a recipe! September flew by and now we're in October, and as we are, it's only right for there to be a Halloween baking blog post here on our blog! I made these 'Monster Brownies' the recipe is essentially a normal brownie recipe, just the decoration on them makes them perfect for a Halloween party! So, lets get on with this blog post.
Ingredients:
- 185g unsalted butter,
- 185g dark chocolate,
- 85g plain flour,
- 40g cocoa powder,
- 50g white chocolate,
- 50g milk chocolate,
- 3 large eggs,
- 275g caster sugar.
Decoration Ingredients:
- White chocolate,
- Edible eyes.
Method:
- Cut 185g unsalted butter into small cubes and put into a medium bowl. Break 185g dark chocolate into small pieces and put into same bowl.
- Fill a small saucepan (Quarter full) with hot water, put bowl on top so it rests on the rim of the pan. Put on a low heat until butter and chocolate have melted, stirring occasionally. Remove bowl from pan. Leave the melted mixture to cool to room temperature.
- Turn the oven on to 160°C (Gas mark 4), and grease and line your tin.
- Tip 85g plain flour and 40g cocoa powder into a sieve held over a medium bowl, make sure to get rid of any lumps.
- Chop 50g white chocolate and 50g milk chocolate into chunks on a board.
- Break 3 large eggs into a large bowl and tip in 275g caster sugar. With an electric mixer on maximum speed whisk the eggs and sugar. They will look thick and creamy. This can take 3-8 minutes, depending on how powerful your mixer is.
- Pour the cooled chocolate mixture over the eggy mousse, gently fold together with a rubber spatula, get all of the mixture from the sides by doing a figure of eight, moving the bowl around each time.
- Hold the sieve over the bowl of eggy chocolate mixture and resift the cocoa and flour mixture, shaking the sieve. Gently fold in the powder using the same figure of eight action as before. then stir in the white and milk chocolate chunks until they're dotted throughout.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared tin, scraping every bit out of the bowl with the spatula. Make sure the mixture is even, and put in the oven. Set a timer for 25 minutes, when the timer goes off, open the oven and shake the tin, if it wobbles in the middle, its not quite done-so put in back in the oven for a few minutes.
- Once the brownie is cooked take out of the oven and leave to cool. Once its cooled then cut the brownie into squares, as many as you like.
- Then melt the white chocolate for decoration. Drizzle the melted white chocolate over the top of the brownies. Then add the eyes. And enjoy! You could add more decorations but I just stuck to the white chocolate and eyes!
Well, that's the end of this blog post! I hope you enjoyed this blog post. Let us know through twitter if you made these! We would love to see them! Thank you for reading.
