Chocolate brownies

MAKES: 12-15Even if I say it myself, these are the best brownies you’ll ever taste. Chunks of milk and dark chocolate are folded through the mix for extra richness, while the cocoa nibs scattered on top provide nuttiness and a little crunch. Perfect with a cup of tea, they’re equally delicious still slightly warm from the oven with a scoop of ice cream.Ingredients225g plain chocolate (35-45 per cent cocoa solids), broken into small pieces225g unsalted butter, in pieces3 large eggs225g caster sugar75g self-raising flour½ tsp fine salt100g dark chocolate chunks100g milk chocolate chunks1 tsp vanilla extract1 tbsp cocoa nibsMethod1. Heat your oven to 160C (180C non-fan). Line a 29 x 22cm brownie tin with baking paper.2. Melt the chocolate with the butter in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water, making sure the base of the bowl is not touching the water. Stir until smooth and set aside to cool.3. In a large bowl, beat the eggs and sugar together, using a hand-held electric whisk, until pale and thickened. Add the melted chocolate and butter mix and fold in until thoroughly combined. Fold in the flour, salt, chocolate chunks and vanilla extract.4. Pour the mixture into the prepared tin and sprinkle over the cocoa nibs. Bake for 25-30 minutes until the top is cracked and crusty. To check that it is ready, insert a skewer into the centre; as you remove it, a little mixture should still stick to the skewer.5. Leave the brownie to cool completely in the tin, then cut into individual pieces. Store in an airtight tin.
