I always used to make my brownies using a packet mix, they were so delicious and always turned out the same. When I could no longer buy my regular packet mix I decided it was time to find a recipe to make good brownies from scratch. I was surprised at how easy they are to make. The following recipe makes amazing brownies - you will nee to use a good bar of dark chocolate (at least 70%) and 100% cocoa powder to achieve the rich flavour... Heaven!
I found this recipe on the BBC food website, created by Lisa Faulkner.
