Best Ever Brownies

These brownies are so so so good! I never thought I could make them as they were always too googey or just like a chocolate sponge. But these, oh wow these are amazing.... SO GOOGEY, SO CHOCOLATEY SO DELICIOUS.

 Firstly cut 185g unsalted butter into smallish cubes and tip into a medium glass bowl. Break 185g best dark chocolate into small pieces and drop into the bowl. Fill a small saucepan about a quarter full with hot water, then sit the bowl on top so it rests on the rim of the pan, not touching the water. Put over a low heat until the butter and chocolate have melted, stirring occasionally to mix them. Now remove the bowl from the pan.

While you wait for the chocolate to cool, position a shelf in the middle of your oven and turn the oven on to fan 160C/conventional Using a shallow tin, cut out a square of non-stick baking parchment to line the base. Now tip 85g plain flour and 40g cocoa powder into a sieve held over a medium bowl, and tap and shake the sieve so they run through together and you get rid of any lumps. Then with a large sharp knife, chop 50g white chocolate and 50g milk chocolate into chunks on a board.

Break 3 large eggs into a large bowl and tip in 275g golden caster sugar. With an electric mixer on maximum speed, whisk the eggs and sugar until they look thick and creamy, like a milk shake.

Pour the cooled chocolate mixture over the eggy mousse, then gently fold together with a rubber spatula. Plunge the spatula in at one side, take it underneath and bring it up the opposite side and in again at the middle. Continue going under and over in a figure of eight, moving the bowl round after each folding so you can get at it from all sides, until the two mixtures are one and the colour is a mottled dark brown. The idea is to marry them without knocking out the air, so be as gentle and slow as you like – you don’t want to undo all the work you did beating the eggs.

Hold the sieve over the bowl of eggy chocolate mixture and resift the cocoa and flour mixture. Gently fold in this powder using the same figure of eight action as before. The mixture will look dry and dusty at first, and a bit unpromising, but if you keep going very gently and patiently, it will end up looking gungy and fudgy. Stop just before you feel you should, as you don’t want to overdo this mixing. Finally, stir in the white and milk chocolate chunks until they’re dotted throughout. Now your mixing is done and the oven can take over
Pour the mixture into the prepared tin, scraping every bit out of the bowl with the spatula. Gently ease the mixture into the corners of the tin and paddle the spatula from side to side across the top to level it. Put in the oven and set your timer for 25 minutes. When the alarm goes, open the oven, pull the shelf out a bit and gently shake the tin. If the brownie wobbles in the middle, it’s not quite done, so slide it back in and bake for another 5 minutes until the top has a shiny, papery crust and the sides are just beginning to come away from the tin. Take out of the oven

Leave the whole thing in the tin until completely cold, then, if you’re using the brownie tin, lift up the protruding rim slightly and slide the uncut brownie out on its base. If you’re using a normal tin, lift out the brownie with the foil. Cut how you please, I like squares or triangles. They’ll keep in an airtight container for a good two weeks and in the freezer for up to a month.

They are truly so easy to make and get right! I recently made some for my mum for mothers day, and she loved them! I have changed up the chocolate chunks for 100grams of chopped walnuts too, and these were delicious too!

Impress Nails

I have to say, I was seriously Impressed with the Impress nails i recently got in boots. Im not really a massive nail person. I'm far to lazy to wait for them to dry, or spend lots of money on different colours. Just for them to chip a day later, or my nails to break. SO ANNOYING!


Anyway... I saw these in boots and thought why not. I fell in love, why cant my nails be like this all the time? I felt all pretty and girly, I wish they lasted forever. I cant quite justify spending time and money getting my nails done professionally. £7 for a special occasion is a fair price I think.




I had so many nice comments about my nails when I was wearing these. I will defiantly be getting some more very soon!

2014

Happy New year

I had a fantastic start to the year with my closest friends. I have enjoyed 2013 so much and cant wait to have another great year. 2013 has showed me so much and i'm beginning to fell very old and grown up. Especially when your little sister can now go out in town! 


pre drinks was suppose to consist of drinks and nice photos but of course we got a little carried away with pin the willy on the male. Apparently its much more fun to stick them on your heads!

Christmas Party Outfit wants

The party season is among us, I have some serious lusting after too many clothes! I have gathered together some of my online favs for this christmas. I am a big fan of not having too many accessories and keeping things simple. A statement necklace can make the outfit, as well can a red lip or a good handbag.

The hair oil

Moroccan Oil

I have herd a few bloggers been posting about this, so I thought I would give it a try. I have been using hair oils for ages (normally the cheapy ones from boots) , the ends of my hair get really dry, I guess its because its so long! It never really gets very greasy and i try not to damage or wash it too much, simplicity is key!

 Anyway although I was impressed by the oil unfortunately the ends of my hair were just to strawy to save. After a large chop from the hairdressers my hair looks healthy again yay. I ordered mine from Feel Unique although the first bottle never arrived I emailed them and I was supplied with a new bottle very quickly. Im not sure about the smell of this oil, its not bad I just think it could be a nicer smell. This oil is very good and it does go far for the price, although you have to splash out a bit to get the larger bottle it is good value. I am still on the quest for something that doesn't flatten my hair and doesn't dry it out. Silly flat hair.

Windy Monday

Hello! 
It was super stormy last night! Me and my sister we worried about our little pony Alfie. So we went to make sure everything was alright with him and his field! We were greeted with sunshine and sniffs. Someone could smell apples! 

 Alf, and all his friends were alright. Smiles all round :)
