Chocolate box brownies

I read a lot of foodie blogs. There are times when a delicious recipe stays with you and just asks to be replicated. That's happened when I saw the most delectable recipe for lush chocolate box brownies cooked by Dom from Belleau Kitchen.


I fancied them from the moment I saw them. a kind of "You had me at Hello" moment. I also had a half-empty box of Thortons chocolates left from Christmas that nobody wanted to finish. Chucking them in a brownie mix together with some Polish chocolate-covered marshmallows seemed like a problem-solver.

Unbaked brownie

I followed Dom's recipe closely enough, perhaps adding more chocolates than he did. I also cooked it for at least 10 minutes longer, as it was still pretty uncooked after half an hour.
That's how the brownie tray looked after I just took it out of the oven, still pretty glossy.


Once it got cooler, I carefully took it out of the tray, and cut into squares and rectangles. These brownies are so rich and gooey that the pieces have to be on a smaller size. They are verrry good though, so I recommend you try the recipe yourselves.
We had them with cream and without, delicious both ways.


And of course the possibilities are endless. Next time I'll try to add some Ferrero Rocher or my favourite Raffaello.

  1. They look gorgeous but I can't quite get my head around the notion of a half-eaten box of chocolates that nobody wanted to finish !!

    1. He he, it's because we had a chocolate boxes overload from before Christmas, and these were mostly white ones left.

  2. You had a half eaten box of chocolates and no one wanted to finish it! That would never happen in this house. They look lovely

    1. I know, that's usually not the case, but we had more chocolate that we could eat.

  4. Oh wow, how good do these look!?! I'm so glad you enjoyed the recipe. It's a good one isn't it? Those cooking times are funny though aren't they? Ovens are so different! I loved the fun element of this idea because I had lemon chocolates in my choc box collection so occasionally you'd get a random lemon chocolate. Thanks for the link back to my post honey xx

    1. Thank you Dom! I agree, the ovens can be very temperamental, mine surely is. Lemon chocs I bet work very well with the rich chocolate brownie
