How to Make Beat The Blues Brownies

  1. Preheat oven to 160°C (320°F). Grease and line a 20 x 30 cm baking tin.
  2. Melt 200g dark chocolate and 100g unsalted butter in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water, stirring occasionally until smooth.
  3. Set aside to cool slightly.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together 150g all-purpose flour, 50g unsweetened cocoa powder, and 1 tsp baking powder.
  5. Add 200g granulated sugar, 2 large eggs, and the cooled chocolate mixture to the dry ingredients.
  6. Stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Gently fold in 100g honeycomb pieces (broken into smaller pieces).
  8. Pour batter into the prepared tin and spread evenly.
  9. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs attached. Do not overbake!
  10. Let cool completely in the tin before cutting into squares.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
