Ingredients

Brownies

• 195 g Unsalted Butter

• 195 g Dark Chocolate

• 3 Large Eggs

• 275 g Caster Sugar

• 90 g Plain Flour

• 35 g Cocoa Powder

• 100 g Milk Chocolate Chips

• 100 g White Chocolate Chips

Decorations

• 10 Candy Canes

• 150 g Green Candy Melts

• Sprinkles

• Sweets

Instructions

• Preheat your oven to 180C/160C Fan and line a 9″ Square baking tray with parchment paper.

• Melt together the Butter, and Dark Chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a pan of boiling water, on the microwave for 1-2 minutes until melted. Leave to the side to cool to room temperature!

• Using an electric whisk/stand mixer, whisk together the Eggs & Caster Sugar for a few minutes until the colour has turned pale, is very mousse-like, and is double the original volume of the amount of eggs + sugar! You will know it's done because when you lift the whisk up out of the mix it should leave a trail for a couple of seconds before disappearing!

• When whisked, pour the cooled chocolate mixture over eggs and fold together carefully. It might take some time, but be patient – you don’t want to knock out the air you made up on the previous step!

• Once completely combined, sift the cocoa powder and plain flour on top of the chocolate mix and then fold together again – still be careful to not knock out the air!

• Once combined well, fold through the chocolate chips and pour into the prepared tin – bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes! Once baked, leave to cool in the tin completely.

• Once cooled, cut the brownies into the tree shapes – I cut the tray in half, and then triangle the two halves – and eat all the offcuts. Carefully insert the Candy Cane sticks into the base of the brownies (like shown!)

• Melt the Green Candy melts and drizzle over in a zig-zag, and then decorate with some sweets/sprinkles!
