Chocolate brownies

These are so delicious! So far I've found that Co-op fair trade dark chocolate works best in this. And you do need to use the right kind of sugars I think because I made them with the wrong kind before and they were all chewy and wrong.

100g/3 1/2 oz butter

175g/6oz caster sugar

6 tablespoons dark muscovado sugar

125g/4 1/2 oz dark chocolate

1 tablespoon golden syrup

2 eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla essence

100g/3 1/2 oz plain flour

2 tablespoons cocoa powder

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

180C/350F/Gas Mark 4 for 25 minutes

-Grease an 8 inch shallow square baking tin and line the base.

-Place the butter, sugars, dark chocolate and golden syrup in a heavy based saucepan and heat gently, stirring until well blended and smooth. Remove from heat and leave to cool.

-Beat together the eggs and flavouring. Whisk in the cooled chocolate mixture.

-Sieve together the flour, cocoa and baking powder and fold carefully into the egg and chocolate mixture.

-Spoon into prepared tin and bake in pre-heated oven at 180C/350F/Gas Mark 4 for 25 minutes, or until the top is crisp and edge of cake beginning to shrink away from sides of tin.

-Leave to cool in tin then cut into squares to serve.
