Rich Chocolate Brownies
These brownies are packed with both milk and dark chocolate instead of adding sugar to the mixture. Serve them in small sequares as they are very rich. When buying plain chocolate, bear in mind that the higher the percentage of cocoa solids, the higher the quality of the chocolate, and the less sugar it contains. The best quality has 70 per cent cocoa solids.
