Triple-Chocolate Brownies

Makes 20 irresistible chocolate brownies

185g butter
185g dark chocolate, chopped
3 eggs
1 and 1/4 cups caster sugar
2/3 cup plain flour
1/2 cup cocoa
3/4 cup roughly chopped white chocolate (about 1/2 a block)
3/4 cup roughly chopped milk chocolate (about 1/2 a block)

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C (350F).
Place the butter and dark chocolate in a saucepan over low heat and stir until just smooth. Allow to cool.
Place the eggs and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer and beat until light and creamy.
Fold through the chocolate and butter mixture.
Sift the flour and cocoa over the mixture and mix to combine. Don’t overmix because it’s nice to keep it light.
Stir in the white and milk chocolate.
Line the base of a 23cm square cake tin with baking paper.
Pour in the mixture and bake for 35-40 minutes or until set. It may take a little longer, depending on your oven.
Allow to cool, then cut into squares.

These brownies are so easy to make and turn out deliciously rich and chocolatey. You must serve them with some vanilla icecream or thick cream - they are too rich to eat alone.
Use only the very best chocolate and cocoa you can get your hands on - it is worth spending that little bit extra. Trust me.
You can see from the amount of chocolate on my face that the mixture is almost as sweet as the brownies themselves.
