Brownies With Walnuts and Dried Fruit

Dried fruits give the brownies a sourish taste that combines very well with the otherwise quite sweet desert. Give it a try and you won't regret it.

• Ready In: 45 mins
• Serves: 6-8
• Yields: 6-8 miffin size cakes

Ingredients

• 200  g  black chocolate
• 200  g sugar (or brown sugar)
• 200  g butter
• 70  g flour
• 4  eggs
• 100  g  chopped walnuts (or hazelnuts)
• 100  g  chopped dried  fruit, of your choice (strawberries, apricot, raisins or other)

Directions

1. Melt butter and chocolate broken into pieces in a frying pan (butter first), or in microwave.
2. Mix flour, eggs and sugar in a bowl and then add melted butter and chocolate and stir.
3. Add nuts and dried fruit to mixture and stir.
4. Pour mixture in a small pan or in muffin cups.
5. Bake 15 minutes in a per-heated oven at 200°C.
6. Do not over-bake, core should stay a little melted. This can be tried out with a toothpick in the cake - there should be some chocolate left on the toothpick when it comes out. When the brownies cool off core will thicken.
