Let them eat cake...

Just made some chocolate brownies from my Aussie neighbour's recipe, perfect with a cup of tea after coming in from the snow!!

Melt 185g dark chocolate and 125g of butter together
Stir in 1 cup of sugar and 2 eggs (one at a time)
Fold in 1 cup of plain flour and 1 cup of chopped walnuts (I used mixed fruit and nuts as it was all the cupboard provided!)
Cook at 180/gas mark 5 for 30 minutes

To be really naughty ice with...

Mix 2 cups of icing sugar with 2 tbsp cocoa
Melt 1 tbsp of butter and add, along with milk, to the above until you get the right consistency.

Yum!
