Notes
- Chocolate: We used 55% dark chocolate in this recipe.
- This recipe requires 40 minutes at 175C in my oven. This time may vary depending on your oven and its capacity. Start checking if the brownies are cooked by inserting a fork or toothpick in the centre at the 35 minute mark. If the toothpick comes out clean, or with very few crumbs on it, it is baked.
- You can add walnuts, almonds, pecans, peeled peanuts, etc., as a topping or combined with the batter. You can also add chocolate chunks, caramel candies, or even Oreo chunks.
