Just then, Jack had a great idea. He would make himself his favourite. Lucky Charms Cereal Fudge Brownies. All he had to do was find the recipe that his Aunt had left him. "Good old Aunty", he wispered with a grin. "I love those. And they'll keep me going on my journey."
He found the recipe. It was as follows... take:
- 375g soft unsalted butter
- 375g best quality dark chocolate
- 6 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 500g caster sugar
- 225g plain flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 300g Lucky charms breakfast cereal
Line your approximately 33 x 23 x 5 1/2cm brownie pan with foil or baking paper.
Now we're ready for the fun. Simply melt the butter and chocolate together in a large heavy based saucepan.
Then, in a bowl, beat the eggs with the sugar and vanilla. Now measure the flour into another bowl and add the salt.
When the chocolate mixture has melted, let it cool a bit before beating in the eggs and sugar mixture, and then the Lucky Charms Cereal and flour. Once again, timing and practice are important here. If the chocolate is too hot, it can take on a slightly over cooked taste (not nice) and the egg could start to harden prematurely. You want the chocolate mix 'just melted'.
Now, combine it all together so that the flour is absorbed and the Lucky Charms evenly distributed. Then scrape out of the saucepan into the lined brownie pan.
Bake for 25 minutes in that pre-heated over.
When it's ready, the top should be dried to a paler brown speckle, but the middle still dark and dense and gooey.
Keep checking the brownies as they cook; remember that they will continue to cook as they cool so 25minutes should be fine.
Wow! Jack thought... This is going to be a great adventure. What a start!
