These brownies are amazing!! I usually stick to my tried and tested brownie recipe as it’s pretty fail proof and gives amazing results. This recipe is probably one of the few I haven’t tried on here though so I thought I would give it a go as they look so appealing from the picture.

I used Valrhona Ashanti chocolate which has a bit of spicyness to it and added some tahini to the mix and sesame seeds to the top before baking as I was taking them to a friend’s house for Iftar as it is Ramadan in Dubai at the moment and they turned out perfectly!

Usually I tend to mix in quite a bit of chopped chocolate to my brownie mix so that there are lots of gooey bits when you bite in so I was wondering if I would miss that but they were delicious, really dense and chocolatey and went really well with some sesame salted caramel that I made aswell. I took about 16 brownies with me and they all disappeared. Will definately be trying this again.

Thank you

Hi Maddie & Ross,

Greetings from Oz! I was thinking of you guys while I made this recipe for our housewarming BBQ . . . pimped it by adding orange zest and then sandwiching marmalade between two layers of brownie mix pre baking! It gives a wicked orangey gooey centre! We bought a pudding steamer yesterday so your Xmas Pud recipe is next. We won’t have snow this year but we will have Christmas Pud!

Hi from New Zealand.

Thanks for this brillant recipe!! I made it for a Spring BBQ recently and everyone raved it and was wanting the recipe.

This recipe is certainly a keeper. The kids and the big kid (Hubby) couldn’t get there hands off it.

Thanks Madeline, I always enjoy your recipe ideas. With Aroha….

Other than the cocoa powder, this is very similar to the Green and Black’s recipe, and it is truly awesome! I’ve made this for cafes, and had American tourists tell me it’s better than they get back at home! and it’s sooo easy to make. Always goes down well – I have to hide some at home to make sure there’s always a little bit for me!

Oooh looks so yum! If you were to add nutella to these brownies, (baking for a nutella-obsessed birthday girl!) how would you go about altering the recipe?

YAY!!! They worked!
Am trying to wait the full 30 minutes of cooling before cutting them, but a sneaky little corner just jumped out for me to try…..
They’re fab! GREAT recipe….

Hi Madalene.

Well, they’re in the oven right now…
I added some dried chilli flakes instead of vanilla seeds to serve with some caramel ice-cream and probably some raspberries, hope chilli chocolate brownies work, fingers crossed!
(I was convinced the tray would be too big for the mixture but you were absolutely right, of course!)
Thanks for a great recipe again!

The ultimate test for these brownies was my girlfriend’s birthday. She is a serious foodie and sugar addict who doesn’t suffer fools and often critiques my best baking attempts. She declared these were the best Brownies she had ever had!! Now that is high praise. This has become my favorite recipe website since I discovered it 4 months ago. Thank you, your recipes are inspiring.
