200gm butter

180gm dark chocolate (broken into pieces)

180gm caster sugar

1 1/2 tsp vanilla paste

4 eggs

150gm self-rising flour (sifted)

100g roasted macadamia nuts, coarsely chopped

100g dark chocolate droplets  

 Method:-

1.     Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C, and line an 8-in square cake tin with baking paper and set aside.

 

2.     Melt 180gm of dark chocolate and butter in a brain marie. Once the mixture is smooth and shiny, set aside to cool for 8-10 minutes.

 

3.     Once the chocolate mix has cooled, add caster sugar and vanilla extract and whisk in till smooth. Then add the eggs, one at a time, whisking well after each addition. The mixture should be thick and gooey.

4.     Coat the macadamia nuts and 100g of chocolate chunks in flour and set aside.

5.     Fold in the flour into the chocolate mixture.

6.     Fold in the coated macadamia and chocolate droplets.

7.     Pour batter into the lined baking tray and bake for 40-50 minutes, or till a wooden skewer inserted into the middle comes out with moist crumbs clinging to it.

8.     Once baked, allow to cool completely, chill the brownie in the fridge for 30 minutes to firm it up, making it easier to slice.
