Notes
- It's important not to overcook this recipe, otherwise you won't get a soft and fudgey brownie.
- As tempting as it is, make sure you let the brownie cool completely in the baking tin before cutting, as this helps it to set.
- If you don't have any cocoa, you can also use cacao, this will give your brownies a richer flavour.
- You can ice the brownies with a simple chocolate icing (recipe here) or leave plain.
- These brownies are freezer friendly.
