Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 125 g dark chocolate finely chopped or broken into pieces
  • 125 g butter cut into small cubes
  • 2 eggs large
  • 150 g sugar granulated
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 100 g all-purpose flour
  • a pinch salt

Equipment

  • 8-inch square baking pan
  • Parchment paper
  • Double boiler or microwave-safe bowl
  • Rubber spatula
  • Toothpick or Skewer

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line the baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy lifting.
  2. Place the dark chocolate and butter in a double boiler or microwave-safe bowl, gently melting and stirring until smooth and glossy, filling your kitchen with a rich chocolate aroma.
  3. Remove the melted mixture from heat and whisk in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is well incorporated, and the batter becomes shiny and velvety.
  4. Add the sugar and vanilla extract, folding them into the batter, which will become thick and glossy, filling your bowl with a sweet, chocolatey scent.
  5. Sift in the all-purpose flour and a pinch of salt, gently folding until just combined; the batter should be smooth but not overmixed to keep it fudgy.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula, creating a smooth, glossy surface that promises a rich, dense crumb.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, until the edges are set but the center remains fudgy, and a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out with moist crumbs.
  8. Remove the pan from the oven, let the brownies cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then lift them out using the parchment overhang and cool completely on a wire rack for clean slicing.
  9. Once cooled, cut the brownies into squares, and if you like, decorate to resemble mummies with white icing or chocolate drizzle and tiny candy eyes for a playful finish.

Notes

For extra fudginess, slightly underbake and let the brownies sit for a few minutes before cooling completely. Decorating with mummy features adds a fun, spooky touch perfect for parties.
