If you have a children's party coming up and are stuck for food ideas, our Recipe of the Week should tickle the taste buds! We're constantly stumbling upon delicious recipes for cakes, brownies and biscuits and other yummy morsels that we felt we simply must share with you.
So our first scrummy Recipe of the Week is...
Allie's Sinfull but Outrageously Delicious Chocolate Nutella Brownies
These incredible chocolate brownies were created by our friend, Allie, from Manage My Website who not only makes great brownies, but made The Party Pirate website too! It's the lashings of Nutella that make these brownies so deliciously gooey and fudge-like. The big question is... what are you supposed to do with the rest of the jar of Nutella!
Ingredients
200g organic milk chocolate, broken up into chunks
100g organic plain chocolate, broken up into chunks
3/4 tub Nutella
250g butter, cut into cubes
5 medium eggs, beaten
350g golden caster sugar
200g plain flour
A dash of vanilla essence
100g milk chocolate chips
50g hazelnuts, chopped
1 small bag of whole hazelnuts
1. Preheat the over to 180 degrees/gas mark 4. Melt the chocolate and butter in a heatproof bowl over a pan of simmering water. Leave to cool.
2. Line a large muffin tray with muffin cases.
3. Beat the eggs with the sugar.
4. Pour in the cooled chocolate mixture, vanilla essence, Nutella, add a pinch of salt, and sift in the flower. Beat until blended and stir through the chocolate chips and chopped nuts.
5. Pour the mixture into the muffin cases and put a few whole nuts onto each.
6. Bake for 25-30 minutes. The top should look crackled and the inside will feel firm but will still be gooey. Be brave if they look on the point of collapse - they need to be soft and fudgy on the inside!
7. Allow to cool in the tin for at least 20 minutes.
8. Eat!
