Apparently it is World Chocolate Day today, I didn’t know that when I baked this beauty in the morning.\u00a0 The recipe comes from “Tea with Bea” book and is one of my most expensive bakes so far. 1 kg pack of Valrhona chocolate got delivered yesterday, ours for only \u00a335, but it seems that at 66% of cocoa it’s perfect for me, not too sweet and not too bitter.\u00a0 In fact, it might be the best brownie I’ve ever eaten. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Recipe and method not too complicated. 250 g of this posh chocolate got covered by 250 g of hot, melted butter and got stirred into velvet by Izzie.<\/p>\n

In the bowl of kitchen aid I had 250 g of caster and brown sugars,\u00a0 4 eggs and a pinch of salt, all briefly mixed. Melted chocolate and butter in, plus 250 g of plain flour. All that went into a prepared lined baking tray and then 30 g each of pecan and hazelnuts on top, gently pressed in. Peanut butter, crunchy, here and there as well as salted caramel spread- Bea’s recipe called for dulce de leche, but Florek couldn’t find it in Sainsbury’s. Also, some posh form coconut was to be added, expensive on Amazon and not a favourite anyway, so skipped. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

The brownie baked in 180 degrees for the first 10 minutes and then another 15 in 160 degrees. Once out of the oven for 10 minutes, it then went into a freezer for an hour. And then I could taste it and liked it so much, that I called Florek to tell him about it.\u00a0 He was home 3 hours later to share the enthusiasm.<\/p>\n
