Bueno Brownies

So... As most of you know it's been a tough few days in our home. We're a bit topsy turvey and upside down as a family. But I know we'll get there eventually. It is in the hands of the universe now.

One thing I always lean to when I'm stressed or upset is angry cleaning or baking. I tend to shut off from the world and keep as busy as possible. Whilst it's a negative in the fact I don't stop to acknowledge my pain or feelings, I just power through them numbly. There is a positive to it also, my house is gleaming- Mrs Hinch would be proud!! And my baking tins are full.

I'm stupid excited to share this recipe with you guys as I'm a sucker for blondies & brownies. My blondie recipe is live- you can find it here... Fool Proof Blondies - TheWarriorLady However I have no brownie recipe as such on here yet (except the amazing vegan ones... Steph's Vegan brownies - TheWarriorLady )

I like to tweak recipes and have a play with the ingredients etc in my kitchen, so all I have done with this one is slightly tweak my super easy blondie recipe to switch it over to the dark side. Concocting this deliciously naughty recipe. Gooey, fudgy, chocolatey, Bueno pack brownies topped with a white chocolate swirl topping. Food porn at it's finest, if I don't say so myself.

As with the majority of my bakes, I've used my beloved 20 x 20cm Pyrex deep dish, greased and lined with baking paper. This recipe is to be baked in the centre of the oven at 160 degrees for 40-45 minutes. Then I would recommend leaving it to cool, before placing it in the fridge overnight. This makes it so much easier to slice your portions and they're nice clean slices not sticky crumbly messes. 


INGREDIENTS.
200G Stork.
300G Caster sugar.
150g Dark chocolate, broken into chunks.
3 Large eggs
210G Plain Flour
30G Cocoa powder
4 Kinder Bueno bars, broken into 1 piece portions.
1 Heaped Tablespoon of white chocolate spread.



METHOD.

1. Melt the dark chocolate in a microwavable bowl until liquid. Leave to the side to cool slightly.
2. Gently melt the butter on the hob until liquid, then add the sugar and continue to stir until all the sugar is dissolved. Turn heat off and let sit.
3. In a separate bowl mix the flour and cocoa powder until thoroughly combined.
4. In a jug, crack and whisk your eggs together.
5. Add the butter mix to your melted dark chocolate and mix until all combined.
6. Then slowly pour your eggs in a little at a time, whisking as you do to avoid them cooking.
7. Then add the flour and cocoa mix to the liquid mix thoroughly. Once done add your Bueno pieces.
8. Pour your mixture into your lined baking dish and smooth the top.
9. Melt your white chocolate spread in a microwave until liquid consistency, then drizzle over the top of your brownie mixture. Using the sharp tip of a knife, swirl the white chocolate around the top of the mixture to create a lovely marbled affect. Then place in the centre of your pre heated oven for roughly 45 minutes. 

Again as with all my recipes, please feel free to email your baking pictures at thewarriorlady00@gmail.com. I love seeing other families getting enjoyment out of my recipes too. Much love and stay safe, Steph xxxxx
