A quick to make chocolate treat for your guests. I begged my friend for this easy, no fuss, flop proof, scrumptious brownie recipe as my entire family agreed that her brownies is the best they have ever tasted. Ok, maybe we are a bit bias but give it a try and tell me what you think. Raising 3 boys and a girl between the unfortunate ages of 14-21 (the constantly grazing type), I always need something in my house to satisfy them and their friends "sweet tooth," this recipe has often been my lifesaver.
Ingredients:
250ml Flour
250ml Sugar
125ml Coco
4 Eggs
250g Butter
5ml Baking powder
2ml Salt
15ml Vanilla Essen's
125ml fresh cream
150g chocolate
Mint leaves
Ice cream/cream
Cherries
Mix together:
Soft butter, eggs, sugar and vanilla essence. Next add the baking powder, salt and flour to the mix. Beat well till it makes a stiff batter.
Bake:
Spread the batter evenly in a greased glass pan of "23cmx13cmx6cm" and place in a pre-heated oven of 180 degrees Celsius. Bake for 30-45 min. Cool the brownies before adding the topping.
Topping:
Pour 125ml fresh cream in a pot, add 150g of Cadbury chocolate and keep over low heat till melted. Pour the chocolate over the brownies and sprinkle 250ml crashed pecan nuts on top. If you like a thicker chocolate top layer just double the chocolate and cream melt. For a hard chocolate topping, use 2x150g chocolate slabs and add only 75ml of cream.
Serve:
Cut into blocks and serve it with ice cream or freshly whipped cream. Garnish the ice cream/cream with chocolate sauce, mint leaves and a cherry.

And there goes my diet!
NO, do not look at it this way. A treat every now and again is healthy for the mood.
Yeah, I know. My post was only semi-serious :-)
These look magnificent. Thank you!
Thank you for always popping in. Hope you will try it out one day team101.
Might have to try this sometime soon seeing as I love brownies.
I promise exavier, you will not be disappointed. I always have to make a double batch for my kids which they kill in a day.
Crazymumzysa, nice recipe will be making this soon to fulfill the urge of my sweet tooth. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you rkaz, let me know what you think and enjoy!
Keep it up.... Delicious post
I hope you will try and use this delicious post alokkoshal. wink wink.
Sure i'll
In the Ingredients there is no butter but in the "Mix Together" it says there is butter. If so , how much butter is to be used in this recipe?
I may try this recipe out next time I am making some cannabis brownies. :D
Oeps, I will correct it. Thank you for pointing it out melkay. Sounds like an excellent combination. It is 250g of butter. I do not like using margarine due to the difference in taste and texture.
No problem. :D
Thanks for sjaring, I will make IT
Always my pleasure hamzaoui. This is what I love about steemit, we learn, we share, we laugh and have fun.
And we must make the number one, because FB and all social paying nothing and here we can get paid
I am sure if we all work hard in promoting, voting and posting steemit will soon be number 1!
i've really cut out sweet things but this looks awesome.
I am sure you can allow yourself a cheat treat every now and again teamhumble. I am proud of you though.
problem is cheat days turn into cheat weeks ;)
At least it is not a problem you cannot fix, teamhumble. You only need to practice mind over matter, focus and tell yourself one treat a week.
i've just side stepped the issue by focusing elsewhere. also, next is to get a standing desk sorted out.
I've seen those and always wondered if spending ten hours a day on it wont take its toll on your body. Weill, good luck, I truly hope you will be able to reach all your goals.
definitely need to try it.. wholl... wait, i am on diet but anyway... this is irresistible!
Good luck with your diet, I need to go on one too but it is winter and great cause for lack of motivation, hibernation mode is what my body yearns till summer when I can come out to play in the sun again.
Lovely food post. Keep these coming
I am not a great cook, so have very few of these but promise to post all I have.
Upvoted!
I love chocolates and this looks really good.
Thanks for sharing the recipe and do keep up the good work.
Thank you globalfoodbook, I truly appreciate this. The Cakeboss might have a better recipe but hey, we all try and tank heavens tastes differ.
You are welcome.
Yummy!
You have no idea how sinful these are, pipurilla.
I can imagine it! 😃😉
ohohohoh i have to show this recipe to my wife :-)
Our son has a looooooot of friends
and when they come along its always like:
(let me just find a good comparison) ah here we go:
With this brownie pan i can make them shut up for a while ^^
So my "Earballs"* might find a rest.
*reference to "Archer" of FX Network
Warning! His friends will become a permanent feature in your house after eating these, chrisx.
they already are ^^
now the mission is to bring down their noise
at least for a while * prayin *
You will have no knees left chrisx, the only hope is to pray for time to fast forward. I am quite blessed as my teenagers aren't very noisy, and we like the same music. The only challenge now is when they are on the piano practicing a new song, somehow they hit the notes harder than usual and the repetition can sometimes be a killer on the ears.
I like this, make me be hungry ..
thank you for sharing
Pity I cannot transport one for you right now here via steemit, mirzacho. Hope you have something to ease those hunger pains.
You can *transport *your vote in my post
Hahaha lol
Got your back!!!
Defenitly going to make this. Like your recipes a lot. I'm passionate about baking
Ai, wish I had your talent bernadette. I am not a fond baker or cook. I think my food must be quite boring and basic but hey my kids are healthy and not complaining, luckily they are boys and all they require is something to fill those bottomless pits of theirs.
Thank you for the comment. That is always the most important for us as moms that our kids are healthy.
Wow... like this is one of my favorite combination.
Brownie with vanilla ice cream.
Thank you ace108. I prefer ice-cream over cream with most of my desserts too. We have a company which makes the most delicious, creamy and rich Italian ice-cream, an absolute treat.
This looks so divine! One piece for me, please! Can't wait till my hubby comes back from Belgium with some Belgian chocolates!
Oooeeeh amy-goodrich, you are a blessed women. We have some delicious imported Belgium chocolate in my country and an absolute treat for very special occasions. I do not know how they do it, but it is absolutely to die for.
I know miss these yummy treats so much! 4 more days... then my hubby is back!
these look soo good :) i just love brownies ;)
Who can resist a Brownie! (or should i say brownies, because for sure i will be having more than one!) Amazing, thank you :)
looks lie chocolate heaven!
