If you find yourself with too much chocolate over the Christmas period, and are craving rich and gooey chocolate brownies instead, then read on to find how I made a Lindt Gold Reindeer and 5 of Santa's helpers into these little beauties.
Peppermint Candy Cane Fudge Brownies
220g caster sugar
160g butter
50g cocoa powder
1 tsp vanilla extract
pinch salt
1 Lindt milk chocolate Reindeer (100g)
2 eggs, beaten
3 peppermint candy canes, crushed
125g plain flour
to decorate
5 x 10g Lindt milk chocolate Elves, melted
1 peppermint candy cane, crushed
- add the sugar, butter, cocoa powder, vanilla, salt & Reindeer to a large saucepan
- over a low/medium heat stir until everything is melted together and smooth
- allow to cool for 10 minutes before whisking in the eggs
- stir in the crushed candy canes and flour to combine
- pour into a greased and lined tin (approx 10" x 6")
- bake in a preheated 160C oven for approx 25 minutes - the top should be firm but the inside still a little gooey
- allow to cool & then cover with melted chocolate and crushed candy cane
- refrigerate for a few hours or overnight before slicing into squares
These are delicious cold, but are also really good warmed up and served with good quality vanilla ice cream
I was provided with some Lindt chocolate for use in my baking
