As if there's not enough chocolate heaven in this mixture, Mama takes a 100 gram slab of Mint Chocolate and grates it over the raw dough.

Brownies are baked in 170 C fan oven for 30 minutes or until there's no wobble when you shake the tin.

The entire house smells like Chocolate Heaven; sorry Papa Bear, you know you can't have any, Mama Bear will make you hot cocoa drink without sugar ;)
Leave brownie to cool a little before turning out (or leave in pan if you wish)
