Chocolate Fudge Brownies? GO ON! You know you want to try making this extra special treat.

Nothing tastes as good as brownies made at home.

We will not warn you about the high levels of sugar in this one because we know you will treat these as part of a balanced diet, right?

Chocolate Fudge Brownie Ingredients:

  • 3 eggs
  • 1 cup margarine
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups plain flour
  • 2 tsp vanilla or 5 drops vanilla essence
  • sprinkling icing sugar
  • 1/2 cup of crushed nuts (check all the kids are ok with this)
  • 3/4 cup cocoa

Here’s How To Make It:

Prepare and clean your surfaces, have some wet wipes handy if doing this with small children – it can get messy in a special wet chocolate kind of way!
Stick your oven on to 350 degrees. Grease a 25cm square pan with butter (even if it’s a non-stick pan).
Melt the butter in a frying pan then pour it into a plastic bowl. Add in the cocoa. Add the sugar and gently mix in the eggs. Add your vanilla, then stir in the flour and the nuts if you are using them.
Give it a good old stir. It will need a bit of elbow grease. Hand the wooden spoon to your favorite child to lick. If you feel bad about choosing a favorite, lick it yourself.

Put your oven gloves on and stick the pan of goop into the hot oven to bake for half an hour.

Smells good doesn’t it?  Mmmm mmmm.

Then take it out and stick it on a rack…

Chocolate Fudge Brownie Recipe – the hardest part is the waiting

…cool the pan for half an hour. Yep, half an hour. Cut the brownies while still in the pan then turn them out. You should find they are willing to be scooped out. If you cut them too soon, you will have a gloppy mess. Still tasty, but not brownies.

Do not worry if they come out a little soft and uneven, they will harden up a little. Shake some icing sugar over the heap. Oh yeah.

Serves 16 friends (or blows the minds of four very hungry friends), who will surely agree these are the best chocolate fudge brownies they’ve ever tried.
