Every chocolate brownie recipe you could possibly want...
Nothing is quite as versatile as a gooey, chocolate brownie and we've got you covered. Whether you're after a vegan brownie recipe, or want something indulgent stuffed with Maltesers, Jaffa Cakes or Jammie Dodger Brownies, look no further.
Brownies are fantastic because you don't need to be an baking expert to make them. But a few things to remember. Make sure you use some decent dark chocolate for the best possible flavour. And line your tin with non-stick parchment before you start and the brownies will lift out easily once they are baked.
Follow our 10 tips for baking the perfect brownies every time, and you can't go wrong.
