I did have a look Goose .
( we do make brownies ourselves so I am unlikely to buy them.. Sorry)

Big Stu who was a forum member in the early years of the forum had a legendary brownie recipe that used to get raved about . 
Chocolate is not a favourite of mine so whilst I might make brownies ,it is rare that I eat them.

But .. I have made note of the brownies you recommend , they are posted out in a box of 4 and might make a nice gift to send to someone who needs cheering up .

Found it ... BigStu's chocolate brownie recipe /

Chocolate Brownies

200 grams butter
200 grams plain chocolate
600 grams caster sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
4 eggs -- large
250 grams plain flour
4 tablespoons cocoa

Preheat oven to 180C, Gas 4

Prepare a small rectangular roasting tin or oven proof dish approximately 8 x 12" (20 x 30cm). Grease or line with baking parchment.

Melt the butter and chocolate over a pan of simmering water. Cool slightly.

Stir in the sugar and vanilla.

Add the eggs, one at a time, stirring until well blended each time.

Sift the flour and cocoa together, add to the mixture and beat for about 1 minute, until smooth.

Pour into prepared tin, and bake for about 45 - 50 minutes. The mixture needs to be just cooked, so start testing with a cocktail stick at about 40 minutes - it should have moist crumbs, but not wet batter, still clinging to it.

Cool in tin until cool enough to handle, then cut into pieces, but leave until completely cold before removing from tin.

I cut this size into 24 pieces (8 x 3), but it could easily make more smaller pieces as it is very rich.

You can make a half quantiity and bake in a 7 x 7" tin for about 40 minutes (test after 35 min)

NOTES : Use the best chocolate you have; 40 - 50% cocoa solids makes great brownies, but 70% cocoa make superb ones!


Enjoy big_smile

Gooey Brownies or River Cottage, from Devon , the best!
Willies 100% cacao, you can't argue with that.
