Leftover Christmas Chocolate Fudge Brownies

A brilliant way to use up any chocolates you find after the festive period, these Leftover Christmas Chocolate Fudge Brownies are super easy and delicious. Fudgy as anything, with a pretty dense centre and packed full of assorted chocolate chunks, these are fabulous.

You really could use any variety of leftover Christmas chocolate that you have – from boxes of chocolates, truffles, toblerones, chocolate oranges. Whatever you can find, can go in! This is why I love this brownie recipe, it is truly so versatile.

For these brownies, we rely heavily on the melted butter and light brown sugar to give the fudgy texture and super shiny topping. You could make these for a bake sale – and the recipe is easily doubled. They keep well in an airtight container for a few days. That said, they don’t last long if you’ve got lots of happy hungry mouths in the house!

For these Leftover Christmas Chocolate Fudge Brownies, I use a basic 8′ square pan (I like this one). I also recommend a good stand mixer or high speed mixer (like this one) to make the brownie mixture.

Ingredients

• 100 g Dark Chocolate Melted
• 170 g Butter Melted
• 100 g Granulated Sugar
• 100 g Light Brown Sugar
• 2 Medium Eggs
• 85 g Plain Flour
• 30 g Cocoa Powder
• 200 g Assorted Chocolates Roughly Chopped

Instructions

• Pre-heat your oven to 200C/180C Fan/Gas Mark 6. Line an 8" Square Pan with greaseproof paper.
• In a small bowl, break up the dark chocolate and melt in the microwave in 20 second intervals, stirring in between to make sure it doesn't burn.
• In a large mixing bowl, whisk together melted butter and both sugars. With an electric/stand mixer, go for a solid 3-5minutes so it is totally combined. Add in the eggs, one at a time and mixing in between.
• Now, add the chocolate slowly (check it first, to make sure it isn't so hot that it will cook the eggs) and combine once again. 
• Add the flour and cocoa powder, fold gently into the wet mixture with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Fold in the chopped chocolates. Pour the batter into the lined pan. 
• Bake approx 30-35 minutes. Remove pan from oven once cooked, and leave the brownies in the pan on a wire rack until totally cooled. Then slice and serve!
