Walnut Brownies
Do you like my brownies?
Walnuts and chocolate go together like two peas in a pod - or in this case a brownie - and complement one another excellently. I'll be the first to admit that I do not actually like walnuts that much, but when put in a cake, their bitterness melts away, leaving you with a fabulous flavour.
When I first made these brownies, I thought they were too sweet, so cut the sugar down by half, and I enjoyed them a lot more. My parents, on the other hand liked them just as much the first time, so I guess it is a matter of preference. If you have a strong sweet tooth, use a hundred grams of sugar and butter (although I personally think this ruins the flavour of the chocolate), but if you're looking for a rich chocolatey experience, then use 50g like is in the recipe below.
