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
  • 150 g Milk Chocolate Chopped

For the Topping

  • 50 g Butter Melted
  • 50 g Light Brown Soft Sugar
  • 100 g Almonds Chopped
  • 150 g Mixed Dried Fruit
  • 50 g Mixed Peel

Optional Drizzle

  • 25 g Milk Chocolate Melted

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 200C/180C Fan/Gas 6. Line an 8 inch square tin. Melt the dark chocolate in the microwave in 20 second intervals. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl/the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the melted butter and both sugars. Add the eggs and mix again. Slowly incorporate the melted chocolate until everything is fully combined. 
  • Fold in the flour, cocoa powder, chopped milk chocolate until just combined. Pour into the lined tin.
  • In a small bowl combine the topping ingredients (make sure the butter is fully melted). Pour this over the brownie batter.
  • Bake 25 minutes - then remove from the oven, top with foil to prevent the topping from baking, then bake a further 10-15 minutes - until this topping is only barely wobbling.
  • Let cool before slicing and serving - some of the topping may crumble a little!
    Optional: melt 25g milk chocolate and drizzle over for decoration.
