Twitterpated -  Used GF flour to accommodate a visitor and after removing from the oven it sunk in the middle. I squashed it a little around the edges to even it up and smoothed a little homemade nutella over it. OMG how yum is this stuff!! So fudgy in the middle and a really creamy chocolate taste. I piece is just not enough.

cattro - thanks for this recipe my kids love them (and me). I bake them nearly every week for school lunches.  A winner in my household.

Jelby - I have made these a few times now, very yummy.
I also add in some choc chip bits on reverse speed at the end. I like the texture they give.
I must also say they are much nicer with the woolies brand cocoa(I read somewhere you suggested this one Leej) . The first few times I made it with the cadbury brand and they were no where near as good as the batch I just made with the woolies cocoa.

LeeJ - The Woolies Home Brand cocoa is dutch cocoa, the lovely stuff. It gives it a taste of real chocolate IMO.

Rara1 - OMG!!! This was absolutely delicious. Made it tonight for our weekly family dinner.  Served it warm with vanilla ice-cream.
Thank you LeeJ for a great recipe. 

Mrs KK - This is the best recipe. I don't have a sweet tooth but love this slice. I have made several times and never failed. I have also added milk & white choc chips.

mavvie - These are yummy!! I sprinkled walnuts on the base before i poured the mix yuuum!! Definitely make them again!!

VieveMS - I made these for dessert tonight.  They were super quick to make in the thermie and didn't take long in the oven.  Very delicious!

Amanda - While I must be honest and say that I seldom come across a brownie recipe I don't like, these are very good.
Hope there's some left for when the rest of the kids get home.

Alexis - How easy and quick and tasty!

BZB - Not bad, considering how easy it was to whip a batch up.

jactela - Have just made this. If the left over mix is anything to go by, these will be wickedly terrible for you.

They look so tasty! 

I've been really good for a couple of weeks now, not copying off and making sweet recipes as I continue on my quest to lose weight - but this recipe looks as if may have just blown all my good intentions right out the window - ah well, I guess my neighbour's kids will enjoy them - I usually give all my sweet things to them (after I have given them the obligatory "taste test" first, of course!).

PS.  I mean tasting my cooking ... not the neighbour's kids!!!

  It's difficult with the Thermo hey!

Everyone loves these, and it was something I requested we do at my demo, to see if they would work in the thermomix. Well they did, they are better in it! So much flufffier and a gorgeous velvet texture!

OK, enough from me, and the brownies 

[Merrilyn]

Oh yum.  Can't wait to make these.

Had a massive cooking day yesterday and finished off with these. Used GF flour to accommodate a visitor and after removing from the oven it sunk in the middle. I squashed it a little around the edges to even it up and smoothed a little homemade nutella over it. OMG how yum is this stuff!! So fudgey in the middle and a really creamy chocolate taste. I piece is just not enough.

[LeeJ]

That's just how we like it Twitterpad  Some firm bits for some, and gooey bits for others 

Will try to remember to take a pic tonight! These are divine served hot with ice cream...

Thanks LeeJ!  Can't wait to make these 
Do you let these ones cool in the tray?

[LeeJ]

I will ussually put 3/4 into the fridge to set overnight for a lovely fudgy brownie

Love to see people getting good use from it 

The woolies HB cocoa is dutch cocoa, the lovely stuff, why did I spend so many years being a cadbury devotee?! Any wonder I could never get that wonderful rich chocolate flavor. It gives it a taste of real chocolate IMO

Thank you Leej for a great recipe.
