Brownies

[blindlea]

 For those who have been asking me for the jaffacake brownie recipe here it is:

Chocolate Brownies

4 eggs

250 g light brown sugar + 250g caster sugar

325g unsalted butter/ marg

125g cocoa powder

1 teaspoon vanilla essence

250g plain flour, sifted

2 packs of jaffacakes

zest of 3 fresh oranges

juice of one of the oranges

4 table spoons orange marmalade

Oven 150

1. Beat eggs & sugar until pale

2. Melt butter in pan, gentle heat

3. Take of heat - stir in cocoa

4. Stir into egg/sugar mixture

5. Fold in flour

6. Add vanilla

7. Add orange zest

8. In a lined tray add the jaffacakes

9. Pour mix on top

10. Bake approx 20-30 mins (depending on your tin size & oven)

11. Whilst warm prick a fork over the top of the brownies

12. Combine the orange juice and marmalade, heating until combined well, then leave a few moments to cool before drizzling liberally over the top of the brownies

13. Leave to fully cool before slicing (it is easier if it has been in the fridge)

nb. The only difference between these and the honeycomb is I smashed up and crumbled 4 crunchie bars into the mix of the brownies n omitted the orange bits then before putting in the oven added another 2 smashed n crumbled crunchies to the top for the honey comb ones,

and again only difference for the rocky road was I added crumbled digestive biscuits, vegetarian marsh mellows and chocolate chips for the rocky road.
