I don’t know anyone who doesn’t like a good chocolate brownie. Crumbly on the outside; gooey in the middle with rich chocolaty chunks of deliciousness; perfection! Am I making you hungry yet?

My partner will do nearly anything for a double chocolate brownie from the recipe I am going to share with you below; mum is also crazy about them. I have given this recipe to a few friends and they have also had similar reactions, somewhere along the lines off: OMG THIS IS AMAZING I NEED MORE…NOW…!

It’s so fail safe you simply can’t get it wrong! This brownie makes great little sweet canapés when cut smaller, topped with whipped cream and a pomegranate seed. I hope you find this recipe as valuable as I have.
