As a first ever blog post, I figured I would start with one of my favourite ever recipes.
The reason why I love these brownies so much isn't because they're quick and easy (which they are) but because of people's reactions when they eat them.

My main issue with standard brownies is that the after taste is always a little bland, and when it comes to 'special' brownies the bland turns into downright chunderous.
What with oreo's being the best thing in the world anyway, their amazing after taste completely cures all of these problems.
So back to the reactions - these brownies get their name from a friend of mine.
I first made them for a bake sale at College and said friend came to keep me company and save me from various awkward teachers winking and smiling at me like I was selling porn.
Instead of being helpful, she basically ate the entire plate of brownies, making such embarrassing noises that we managed to start making some sales...so technically we were selling porn, but the M&S kind. (you know the advert, you've paused on the potatos)
ANYWAY
So Woolfy's original name for the brownies is too inappropriate for this end of the internet, so for now they're just named after her.
Enough rambling, here's how you make them:
You will need-
100g milk chocolate - preferably dairy milk
100g dark chocolate - preferably bournville
175g unsalted butter
325g caster sugar
130g plain flour
3 eggs
1 packet of Oreosicing sugar, to decorate
*Preheat the oven to 170C*
1. Grab a heatproof bowl and put it over a pan of boiling water, making sure the water doesn't touch the bowl. Melt the butter, then add the cut up chocolate. (most people do them together, but I find the hot butter helps to cook the chocolate smoothly)
2. Once smooth and melted, take off the heat and quickly stir in the sugar, then the flour and eggs. It should be thick and smooth.
3. Take half the oreos and crunch them up into quarters, then stir them into the mix.
4. Pour into greased tin and then sprinkle over the remaining oreos, broken up in the same way.
5. Cook for 30/35 mins, and leave to fully cool before cutting up.
They should end up looking something like this:
That's all for now, hopefully this didn't totally fail.
