Recipe for sharing...

Now this is a naughty recipe, but I discovered it this afternoon and I thought it was WELL worth sharing....

Bourbon Pecan Brownies

Makes about 16 squares or bars...

200g dark chocolate
125g butter
2 eggs
125g light brown sugar
100g caster sugar
75ml bourbon whiskey
2tsps vanilla extract
175g plain flour
1 tbsp cocoa
125g pecan nuts, roughly chopped.

Heat the overn to 190c / gas 5 and line a 20cm square cake tine with foil.  Melt the chocolate with the butter in a saucepan and leave somewhere warm on the work surface.

Beat the eggs with botht he sugars until the sugar has almost dissolved and mixture turns creamy and a light beige colour.  Next, beat in the chocolate mixture.

Finally, beat in the chopped pecans.  Scrape this into the tin and bake for 25 minutes or until a poke with a toothpick through the sugary crust comes out barely clean, as the hot chocolate will cook on for at least 5 minutes after you've taken it out of the oven.

Recipe verdict: 9/10 ... "About the best brownie I've ever had, I'd say" - Matthew Smail, 21/3/2012.
