Chocolate Orange Brownies With White Chocolate Chunks!

Helloooo!

 

This blog post is going to make you extremely hungry.. I'm sorry in advanced. I'm sat here right now eating hot gooey  brownies that taste absolutely divine! The main base of this recipe is from my work experience placement which was in an old peoples home. Now I know that sounds weird but they have a 5 star chef, who makes the most amazing food! So after trying these I asked for the recipe! I made these changing the recipe slightly to suit my taste but I think they still taste amazing! The one thing I was surprised at with this recipe is there is no Terry's chocolate orange inside, which is my favourite, but I guess you are sort of making your own!

 

 

You will need:

350g dark chocolate

250g Butter

3 Whole eggs

250g Soft brown sugar

100g Plain flour

5g Baking powder

1 teaspoon of orange essence

100g White chocolate chips

1 Large orange-Zested

 

 

Step one: Preheat your oven to 180° (gas mark 4/5)

 

Step two: Melt the chocolate and butter in a bowl over a saucepan of boiling water.

 

Step three: Whisk the eggs and sugar in a bowl, with an electric whisk until light and fluffy!

 

Step four: Fold the egg and sugar mixture into the melted chocolate and butter!

 

Step five: Add in the orange essence and orange zest!

 

 

Step six: Now sprinkle in 3/4 of the chocolate chips.

 

Step seven: Fold in the flour and baking powder.

 

Step eight: Transfer onto a tray lined with greaseproof paper. Then take the 1/4 chocolate chips that are left and drop them all over the top!

 

Step nine: Bake in the oven for 25 minutes ( or until a skewer/fork/knife comes out clean!)

Step ten: Enjoy!

 

I hope you have enjoyed this blog post! This post was mainly because I am rubbish at looking after paper with recipes on, so now I know where to look when I want it! If you make these, show me on my social media.. links under the contact tab at the top!

Blogmas day 23: COOKIE FAIL!

HELLOO EVEERYONEEEE!

OH MY GOLLY GOOSEBERRIES ITS 2 DAYS UNTIL CHRISTMAS WHAT!? WHAT?! WHAT?!?!?


So if you haven't guessed by the title this was supposed to be a cooking tutorial because I love to bake however they turned out rock solid :( I baked them for shorter than the recipe said and they came out hard as rock!! However im still going to tell you how I did it!

You will need:

150g- salted butter

80g- light brown muscovado sugar

2 tsp- vanilla extract

1- large egg

225g- plain flour

½ tsp- bicarbonate of soda

200g- Milk chocolate chips.

1. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees.
2. Line two baking trays with non-stick baking paper.
3. Put the butter and sugar into a bowl and beat until creamy. Then mix in the vanilla extract and egg.
4.  Sieve the flour and bicarbonate of soda over the mixture and mix in with a wooden spoon.
5. Then add the chocolate chips and stir well.
6. Using a teaspoon, place small mounds of the mixture well apart on the baking trays. Bake in the oven for 10 mins until light brown.- I RECOMMEND 8 MINS!
7. Leave on the tray for a couple of minutes to firm up and then transfer to a cooling rack.

There is the recipe for the cookies! This is how mine turned out even though they are rock solid :(
