Jaffa cake chocolate brownies

Hello,

I've been busy the last few weeks experimenting with my baking, and came across a recipe for Jaffa cake brownies and knew I had to make these!!! Let's just say, they didn't disappoint. 

Here's the recipe I used: 

Ingredients 

185g Unsalted butter (I used stork)

185g Dark chocolate 

85g Plain flour

40g Cocoa powder 

70g Milk chocolate chips

1 packet of Jaffa cakes (12 in a pack)

3 Eggs

275g Caster sugar (or a little less, which I did as the family are trying to eat less sugar and there is already a lot in this)

Method/Recipe 

1. Cut the butter in to small chunks with the chocolate broken in to cubes into a medium size bowl (glass would be best, or one that won't melt). Fill a small saucepan with water quarter of a way, and pop in the bowl so it sit over the edge. Place on a low heat, to melt the butter and chocolate. Remove the bowl and place in the side to cool. 

2. Preheat the oven at 180c/gas Mark 4 to preheat. 

3.Break eggs into a large bowl, add the sugar then whisk while you get a creamy texture. 

4. Pour in the cooled chocolate mixture over the eggs and sugar. Lightly whisk until the whole mixture becomes a mainly chocolate colour. 

5. Add the flour, cocoa to the mixture. (Sieve the flour and cocoa if needed) lightly whisk, till the texture has become thicker. 

6. Grease a large baking tray (I used one with a little depth). Line the trap with grease proof paper (make the brownies easier to get out of the tin). Add the Jaffa cakes across the tray, chocolate side up. 

7. Pour the mixture over the Jaffa cakes. Covering the whole tray, and hiding the Jaffa cakes. Create a neat level, making sure you get all the mixture out of the bowl. Add the chocolate chips all over the top of the mixture. 

8. Place in oven for 25 minutes. 

9. After 25 minutes check how your brownies are getting on. Get the tray out and lightly shake to see if the mixture has set. If it moves, pop in for another 5 minutes. The top should have a papery shiny crust (I make sure mine is dark in colour, and not burnt) 

10. Take the brownies out of the oven, and leave to cool on the side till the trap and brownies are completely cool. Then lift out of the tray and cut up in to the size you think best. I cut mine round each Jaffa cake. 

11. Now enjoy!! Share if you must... Or hide and eat all! 

Here's my Jaffa cake in the tray before the mixture poured on top. 

Mixture in the tray and the chocolate chips sprinkled all over. 

Then wait for it.... 

My brownies!! 

These were enjoyed by my family and friends... Plus myself! 

These can be enjoyed rewarmed with cream cream or spray cream. - might make them again and do this for a girly night in with friends. 

Now go and make your own, let me know how yours turns out. 

Love Lolly
