Delicious Chocolate Brownie Recipes

Chocolate Brownies! The name itself is enough for leaving you drooling and craving for one! From a five-year-old kid to a 60-year-old woman/man, everybody simply loves brownies. Make them fudge-like or cake-like with cocoa or gooey, melted chocolate baked until the crust is scrumptiously crackly on top.

They are one of the most sinfully heavenly comfort foods that one can have. Apart from the chocolate and of course, the butter and flour, that make up the ingredients for chocolate brownies, the next thing about them is the crunchy bits of nuts, usually walnuts, which just add to the overall experience of gustatory bliss with each irresistible mouthful bite.

Chocolate brownies can be had all by themselves―to get the full chocolaty taste or even with ice-cream or whipped cream. Or you can sip a steaming hot cup of black coffee between each bite dusted with icing sugar. So, here are some simple recipes for making chocolate brownies.

• Begin by preheating the oven to 180ºC or Gas Mark 4. Then, grease a 9-inch sized baking dish.
• In a bowl, mix sugar and butter until the mixture becomes fluffy and light.
• Then add vanilla essence and eggs, and beat it well.
• In another dish, sift the cocoa, flour, and salt together, and add this to the beaten mixture, blending them all well.

• Add the walnuts and chocolate extract in and mix well.
• Pour this mixture into the greased dish and spread it out evenly. Bake this for about 35 minutes.
• Test if it is done by inserting a knife or skewer into it, which should come out practically clean.
• Cool on a rack, and then cut into squares. Your chocolate brownie is ready!
