This Nigella recipe is taken from the Christmas Special of her Channel 4 programme Nigella Bites. These recipes are simple and stress-free. As Nigella Says: "Christmas food is the best sort of food because it's about proper, unpretentious home cooking. Feasting isn't about formality: it's about providing friends and family with good things to eat."

Ingredients

  • 375g best quality dark chocolate
  • 375g unsalted butter at room temperature at least
  • 1 tablespoon real vanilla extract
  • 6 eggs
  • 350g sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 225g plain flour
  • 250g white chocolate buttons, preferably Montgomery Moore, or just chop same amount of good white chocolate
  • tin measuring approx 33cm x 23cm x 5.5cm

Method: How to cook snow-flecked brownies

1.Preheat the oven to 180C/Gas 4/350F.

2.Line your brownie pan base and sides.

3.Melt the butter and dark chocolate together in a large heavy based pan.

4.In a bowl or wide mouthed large measuring jug, beat the eggs with the sugar and vanilla.

5.Measure the flour into another bowl and add the salt.

6.When the chocolate mixture has melted let it cool a bit before beating in the eggs and sugar, and then the flour.

7.Finally fold in the white chocolate buttons. Beat to combine smoothly and then scrape out of the saucepan into the lined pan. Bake for about 25 mins.

8.The brownies are ready, when the top is dried to a paler brown speckle, but the middle is dark and dense and gooey still; remember that they will continue to cook as they cool.

  1. I made these brownies twice and the first time didnt work at all lol but the second time I would go as far as to say that they looked better than the ones in the book lol, I take pictures of everything I cook lol just to prove I actually done it. I think you need to put in more white chocolate than the recepie states because it melts really quickly and you cant really see it.

  4. These are hands down the best brownies ever, although I change it up by only using about 1 cup of flour and a choc mix of 70% & 85% dark Lindt blocks. You will be extremely popular with anyone you feed these to! I would even go as far to say to any single women - these have the power to nab you that special guy!
