The Tastiest Chocolate Brownies - How To

Wednesday, 16 August 2017


I'd been begging my boyfriend to do some baking with me for weeks, and finally we had a day off together. So, I marched him down to the shop to get the ingredients, and we spent 4 hours cooking up some yummy treats. We made more Oreo cupcakes, and I already did a blog post on those so go and check that out cause they're truly amazing. 

I'm gonna show you how to make the best brownies in the world. No exaggeration. They didn't even last more than a day, everybody loved them. 

Here's how to make Marshmallow Chocolate Brownies.




...



Ingredients

150g Dark Chocolate
50g Cocoa Powder 
180g Butter
270g Caster Sugar
80g Plain Flower
3 Eggs
1 Handful of Mini Marshmallows

Method

First of all you need to break up your chocolate into squares (I used Bournville Chocolate), and also dice your butter into good sized chunks so that it can melt easily. Pop your chocolate and butter chunks into a bowl and place the bowl over a pan of simmering water. heat this gently until the mixture is melted. Once done, allow this to cool. 

Now preheat your oven to 180 Celsius / 350 Fahrenheit / Gas Mark 4. Line the base of your tin using baking parchment if you have it, we didn't so I just greased the tin with butter and it worked perfectly fine. 

Next you need to whisk together the eggs and caster sugar until it turns thick and creamy. Then sift in the cocoa powder and flour, and ensure there are no lumps. Fold those dry ingredients into the egg/sugar mixture. 

This is where your melted chocolate comes in. Pour it into your brownie mixture and gently fold it in. Now you need to throw in your marshmallows (these melt,  making the brownies super gooey on the inside)


Pour your brownie mix into your lined/greased tin and bake it for 25 minutes. My brownies took a little longer to bake but this depends on your oven. When ready, check your brownies. It may appear as if they aren't cooked properly if you place a knife through the middle, but this is because it's a gooey mixture and the marshmallows melt. You can gently shake the tin, and if the brownies wobble then they're not done cooking, so pop them back in for another 10 minutes or so (but keep an eye on them).


When your brownies are done cooking, take the tin out and leave it to cool down slightly. I cut my brownies into squares when they were still quite warm so the knife went through nicely. 


You can also put some marshmallows on top to finish them off, or drizzle some melted chocolate over the top. 

Let me know if you have a go at making these brownies! Be sure to comment and let me know what your favourite thing to bake is.

I'm Obsessed With: Floral Embroidered Fashion

So now that that's out of the way, hi!

I've recently been obsessed with anything embroidered with floral patterns, roses, blossom etc. Everywhere I turn, there's some sort of embroidered piece of fashion: backpacks, ankle boots, dresses. I thought as been as I'm working with BoomOutlet.com, I might as well show you some of my favourite embroidered pieces from their site. They do sell plenty of other gorgeous items, so go on over and have a browse (there's also some pretty cute makeup brushes that may look familiar to a lot of you, which would be perfect to use for flat-lay props if not makeup application). 

...

I'm gonna start off with this perfect Autumn/Winter jacket. 



It's a sleek, back jacket with large embroidered patches. It also comes in a khaki green colour. 


The detailed embroidery can also be seen on the back of the jacket. This would be a great piece to size up on and use as an oversized coat on top of a knitted jumper, some skinny jeans and your favourite boots. 



...


Now I wanna show you a few hoodies you can cosy up in when you have those lazy nights in on the sofa with a hot cuppa. 



These Golden Rose hoodies are probably my favourite out of all of the items in this post. When I think of embroidered fashion, red roses and pink blossom spring to mind; but these are gold roses. The gold roses really compliment the beige hoodie, but they're all equally as comfy looking. The roses just run down both sleeves. 






...


 This comfy hoodie has a simple design. The front of the hoodie is plain, and the main attraction takes place around the edge of the hood. 



This is available in black or cream.




...


This hoodie also has a simple design. A single rose. Easy to throw on with a pair of pyjama shorts and some slippers. Nothing too fancy for getting ice-cream drunk in bed while you watch all the best Disney movies. 






...



This next item is definitely something your wardrobe needs this Autumn. 



Easily styled with a skirt or skinny jeans, it's a dainty knit with traditional roses and also comes in black!




...


This t-shirt goes to show that not ALL embroidered fashion has to be about flowers. 



A pretty little doodle-style design. Wear with a cardigan, jeans and a cute pair of flats. Also available in black! 




...


Most of the bags I've seen that have had embroidery on them have been faux leather handbags/clutches, or when it's been a backpack, it's been silk and covered in floral design. 



I thought these backpacks were a little more unique. The fabric is a canvas type fabric and the dainty roses are placed perfectly. This also comes in a black design too.
