The best chocolate brownie

If you want to add something extra to this mixture, stir half a cup of toasted nuts - such as peanuts, almonds or walnuts - into the mixture before baking or replace the chocolate chips with white chocolate bits for a change.

Ingredients

175 g	Butter
175 g	Dark chocolate, cooking chocolate, coarsely chopped (Main)
1 ½ cups	Caster sugar
4	Eggs, lightly beaten
½ cup	Flour (Main)
2 Tbsp	Cocoa powder
½ cup	Chocolate chips
2 tsp	Icing sugar

Directions

1. Heat oven to 160C fan bake. Line a 17cm x 27cm slice tin with nonstick baking paper.
2. Place coarsely chopped butter and chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water, or microwave for 2 to 3 minutes, to melt. Whisk until smooth, then stir in sugar and lightly beaten eggs.
3. Sift plain flour and cocoa powder together, then stir into chocolate mixture. Lastly, gently stir in chocolate chips.
