Brighton brownie baking

Back to Brighton....


.....and my brownies.  No cookies I'm afraid.  I had nothing to measure with, let alone a mixing bowl! 

Well I was certainly restricted.  But I bought 2 packets of brownie mix and decided to make a rocky road brownie.  I had no way of measuring oil and water so had to guess the consistency...!!



I bashed up walnuts, cubed marshmallows into small pieces (very sticky, I warn you!) and broke Cadbury's buttons in too.  As you can see, I had to use a pan as a mixing bowl as my friend has NOTHING to bake with...!!


I'm so sorry to say that I didn't take a photo of the finished result.  I will get better at this. I will!!

 
I baked it at 180'C for 25 mins.  It was very gooey and I worried that it was too gooey.  I let it finish off as I turned the oven off and left it in there.  Probably wasn't the best idea...

BUT!! The outside has a nice slightly crispy coating and a gooey centre.  My Mum thinks I under cook my brownies but I ASSURE you that this is the American way and way WAY more delicious.

British brownies end up being cocoa-heavy, heavy cakes. 
Gooey brownies washed down with a glass of milk.  Amazing.

My taste testers certainly oooo-ed and ahhh-ed over them.

I just took a terrible out of focus photo for you to see.

You want light brown coating on the top and a deep, dark chocolate gooey mix in the centre.

Oh my, it's just gone midnight and I am about to devour the last piece!! Shhhh!!
