An afternoon cup of tea with two brownies… delicious! This recipe is so easy I let my six year old make it, with my supervision of course.  It’s inexpensive and most people will have all the ingredients sitting in their cupboard right now.

* 150g butter

* 3 eggs (lightly beaten)

* 1 tsp of vanilla essence

* 1 cup of sugar

* 1 cup of self raising flour

* 1/2 cup cocoa

* 1/2  cup of chopped nuts (we use peanuts because they are the cheapest)

Method

1. In a pot large enough to hold all the ingredients, melt the butter and take off the heat.

2. Add all other ingredients to pot (sifting flour & cocoa) and stir until well combined.

3. Line a 28cm X 18cm baking tray with baking paper and pour mixture in.

4. Bake for 35 minutes at 180 degrees Celsius.

5. Allow to cool on a wire rack then cut into individual squares.
