TIPS
If you’re not serving the brownie warm, let it cool in the tin, then turn out and slice into squares. It’ll continue to set in the tin, but stay soft and fudgy in the centre.
The two types of sugar in these brownies work their magic in different ways. Caster sugar lends sweetness and helps create a smooth and crispy top. Brown sugar adds to the rich, moist centre.
Brownies will keep in an airtight container for up to 1 week.

Simple enough for my 11 year old to make by herself! Delicious. We baked for only 40 minutes and left to cool in the tin and they were gorgeously fudgy. Just perfect!!

Never fails

I decreased the brown sugar to 100 gr and the caster sugar to 200 gr and baked the brownie for 40 minutes and it was perfect.
It was super rich - next time I might try white chocolate chips instead of dark ones, but the brownie was a big hit with everyone at my NY’s eve party!
