In my previous post for Raspberry & Pear Loaf I mentioned why I had decided to make a few recipes with raspberries.
This recipe for Chocolate & Raspberry Brownies is so quick and easy to make that it will become a family favourite in no time.
INGREDIENTS
125 gm butter, chopped
2 Cups Chocolate (eating chocolate – dark would be perfect for this as well)
1/2 Cup Brown Sugar
2 Tsp Vanilla Essence
1 Cup Plain Flour
1 Cup Frozen Raspberries
Icing sugar, to serve
LET’S PUT IT ALTOGETHER
1. In a small saucepan place the butter and chocolate, stir occasionally until melted and smooth. Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow to cool slightly.
2. Add the brown sugar and vanilla essence to the chocolate mixture followed by the eggs, stir until combined.
3. Stir through the flour and finally fold through the raspberries until just combined.
4. Pour into a greased and lined slice baking tray or as I have used a 12 whole square muffin tray.
5. Bake in a 180 degree Celsius oven for 30 minutes or until set.
6. Allow to cool slightly in the tray and then remove (if using the slice tray, cut into 12 pieces) and serve with a generous dusting of icing sugar and more raspberries.
Makes 12
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days (if they last that long)
Freezer Friendly: Place individual pieces into zip lock bags and freeze
Lunchbox Friendly: Remove from the freezer and place straight into the lunchbox, they will be defrosted by morning tea.
This looks gorgeous Amanda. You know, I never finished up getting those frozen raspberries when they were on special. Instead I bought a pack of fresh ones, hoping to make choc raspberry brownies and the boy ate them all. Oh well. Can’t complain about that. LOL

Can’t complain at all they are so good for you, my boys demolished a whole frozen packet
I love the idea of using frozen raspberries at this time of year. I will be bookmarking this one as I love chocolate and raspberries together.
Have a great weekend.

Wow! These are by far the best brownies EVER! I even used 100 grams of cheap milk chocolate and 200 grams of cheap plain chocolate and you’d think I had used top brand stuff! I did top them off with a squirt of chocolate syrup and served a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side. This would be a top request at any restaurant! Thanks for sharing.
They are pretty good and I love the idea of adding chocolate syrup and ice cream. Yum
Will gluten free flour work?
I haven’t tried it, but it could work may be a little denser.
