Ingredients

  • 125 g unsalted butter chopped
  • 200 g chocolate melts
  • 3 medium eggs
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • ¾ cup all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup cocoa powder
  • tsp salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup crushed peanuts or chopped walnuts

Instructions

  • Preheat oven at 170°C or 338°F. Line a 5cm deep square pan with parchment paper. Set aside.
