Chocolate and Prune Brownies

26/10/2015 by Gina Leave a Comment

These are so yummy … the prunes add a lovely chew and moisture to the mix that makes them so much more delicious.

Use a 21cm square tin, or a 26cm x 16cm oblong tin … cut the pieces into the sizes you wish based on the tin that you use.

Mixture in the tin before baking
