These brownies are the perfect treat to prepare ahead for parties of any age group. They’re simple to make, store for 2 weeks in the fridge or up to a month in the freezer and are really decadent.

This recipe makes 9 large brownies or 16 smaller ones – cut them as small as you wish.

Holly Bell's Double Decker Brownies

  • 325g dark chocolate, not more than 60% cocoa solids

  • 125g salted butter

  • 150g castor sugar

  • 90g soft brown sugar

  • 3 large eggs

  • 100g plain flour

  • 3 Double Decker bars, cut with scissors into 3cm chunks

Method

  1. Grease and line a 20cm x 30cm tray and preheat the oven to 180°C/fan 160°C/gas mark 4.

  2. Break the chocolate into squares and melt together with the butter in a large saucepan over a very low heat, stirring regularly to ensure the chocolate doesn’t burn. (I usually put the butter in first as this shields the chocolate from burning, of course you can also melt in a bowl suspended over a pan of simmering water instead).

  3. Remove from the heat when smooth and add the sugars, eggs and flour. Stir well and pour half into the tin, then add the Double Decker pieces.

  4. Pour the rest of the brownie batter over the top of the Double Decker pieces ensuring none are exposed (or they will burn in the oven).

  5. Bake for 25 – 30 minutes until the brownie has stopped wobbling and is starting to look a little cracked at the edges. Cool on a wire rack and refrigerate for an hour before cutting with a very sharp knife. You can clean the knife after each cut to achieve perfect little squares.

Extra tips...

  • Double Deckers not your thing? What about Twix’s, Mars bars or even Bounty Bars?

  • Want something a little sweeter? Replace 100g of the dark chocolate with milk chocolate.
