chocolate brownies

Because it's raining, I'm tired and the whole house is covered in Cruskit. And because chocolate makes everything better.

Update
Here's the recipe. It's super quick to make, doesn't use much kitchen equipment and they feel very decadent to eat. It's from Donna Hay Modern Classics 2

200g chocolate (dark cooking chocolate is good. For the last batch I used Spanish cooking chocolate and half a Lindt dark chocolate bunny)
250g butter
1 and 3/4 cups brown sugar
4 eggs
1/3 cup cocoa
1 and 1/4 cups plain flour
1/4 teaspoon baking powder

Preheat the oven to 160 degrees C (325F)

Melt chocolate and butter in a bowl over a saucepan of water on low heat. Stir until it is all melted. Allow to cool slightly.
Add sugar, sifted flour and cocoa, eggs and baking powder to the bowl. Mix until combined.

Pour into a 20cm (8") square slice tin lined with baking powder. Bake for 50 minutes or until set. Cool slightly in the tin and cut into slices. Makes 16 slices. (I used a rectangular tin and cut it into 20 slices. It is really dense and rich, so smallish slices are good).

Make a cup of coffee, collapse on sofa and enjoy.
