When I'm away from home working, my mind often drifts onto the subject of good tasting food. I've talked enough about how bad the food is up here so I won't expand. This is a recipe for chocolate brownies, it's very very very easy and they taste great, so go make/bake some, eat them and tell me how good/bad they were and I will live vicariously through your taste buds :)
.
One thing to remember with this recipe is that the better the quality of the chocolate the better the end product will taste, so spend a little more and buy the good stuff. Oh and I never said this was going to be a healthy recipe...ok!

Chocolate Brownies
.
100g unsweetened chocolate
8 tablespoons of unsalted butter
1 cup of sugar
2 eggs
1/2 cup plain flour
1/2 teaspoon of vanilla essence/extract
.
Preheat the oven to 175 C. Combine the chocolate and butter in a small saucepan, (reserve a little butter to grease the pan with) over a low heat, stirring occasionally. When the chocolate is almost melted remove it from the heat and continue to stir until the mixture is smooth.
.
Grease the baking tray (a 20cm square one will do) or you can line it with greaseproof paper and grease that.
.
Transfer the mixture to a bowl and add the sugar. Beat in the eggs one at a time. Add the flour and the vanilla, stir to incorporate. Stop stirring once there is no more flour visible.
.
Pour into pan and bake for 20 - 30 minutes or until set and barely firm in the middle, cool on a baking rack before cutting.
.
Makes around a dozen brownies
.
You can add chopped walnuts to the mix if you want and you can also ice them with a basic choc icing.
.
Damn I'm salivating at the thought of them.
