Honeycomb & Sea-Salt Chocolate Brownies
- 250 grams unsalted butter, chopped
- 150 grams dark chocolate (I used half 70% and half 85%), broken into pieces
- 300 grams brown sugar
- 4 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla paste or extract
- 1/3 cup cocoa powder
- 185 grams plain flour
- 50 grams honeycomb chocolate bar
- 1 pinch sea-salt flakes
- Grease and line a 30cm x 20cm tin with baking paper and preheat oven to 160u0b0C.
- Melt your butter in the pan and then add the chocolate. Heat low and slow, stirring as it melts until there are only just a few blobs of chocolate in the mix. Turn off the heat and continue gently stirring as the residual heat finishes the melting and you're left with a lovely and luscious pot of silky chocolate. Set aside and allow to cool slightly.
- Pour mixture into the prepared tin.
- Take your honeycomb chocolate bar, still in the wrapped, and bash it a few times with a rolling pin to crush the contents.
- Sprinkle the honeycomb crumble like gold-dust over the brownie mix. Take a knife and marble the honeycomb into the brownie batter so some bits are in the middle of the mix but you still have a lovely dusting over the top.
- Sprinkle with a good pinch of sea-salt flakes and pop in the oven. Check if it's ready at 30 mins and then in 5 minute intervals after that by sticking a knife into the centre of the pan (you want the gooey chocolate inside to still cling to your knife so there are some streaks of batter on the blade, revealing a soft centre).
- Leave to rest to allow the mix to come together as it cools, leaving you with a chewy and decadently moist centre that makes a truly great brownie.
- Cut into 16 pieces and serve with a cup of tea.
