Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (160°C fan) / 350°F and line a 20cm square baking tin with parchment paper.
  2. Melt 200g of Whitakers Dark Chocolate with 150g of unsalted butter in a heatproof bowl over simmering water or in the microwave.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together 250g of caster sugar, 3 large eggs, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until fluffy and light in color.
  4. Gently stir in the cooled chocolate and butter mixture into the egg and sugar blend, folding it in carefully.
  5. Sift together 100g of plain flour, 40g of cocoa powder, and a pinch of salt. Gradually fold into the wet mixture until just combined.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared baking tin and bake for 20-25 minutes, until the edges are set and the center remains slightly gooey.
  7. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely in the tin.
  8. Lift out the brownies, cut into squares, and decorate with white icing pens, candy eyes, and a drizzle of raspberry coulis.
