About

For me, brownies must be soft in the centre, buttery and so chocolatey that the sides of my mouth cringe with the richness. Use good-quality dark chocolate and unsalted butter. If plump, sweet macadamia nuts are too expensive, try hazelnuts, pistachios or peanuts instead.

Method

Preparation

Roughly chop the chocolate and butter and place the pieces in a bowl.

Put the macadamia nuts into a dry frying pan over a medium heat and lightly toast them for a few minutes, keeping them constantly on the move. Tip the nuts into a tea towel and crush them with a rolling pin.

Line a 30cm by 20cm by 4cm baking tray with parchment paper.
