If you like chocolates, dates and walnuts, then you would be in 7th heaven the minute I say that it is a brownie with all this goodness mixed together. But if you are not that much of a chocolate lover like me, then one bite of this will convince you to reach out for some more.

We had some guests few weeks back and they sure turned out to be v generous with their gift of chocolates. I had a various assortment of those and dint know what to do since I dont like chocolates except probably for those which have nuts in them.

I had some dates and nuts in my pantry and thought of re-creating one Brownie recipe which I had noted down long back with my own modifications.

Method

1.Preheat Oven to 350F. Grease a 12 X 8-inch baking pan and line with baking parchment.Put the chocolate and butter in a double boiler / large heatproof bowl over a another vessel with hot water and leave until melted. Stir till smooth.

2. In a sepearte bowl , beat the eggs ( if using, otherwise milk), sugar and vanilla.

3.Beat in the chocolate mixture, then fold in flour, dates and nuts.

4.Pour into the pan.

5.Bake for 45m-1 hr until firm and mixture comes away from the pan. Cool and then turn out. Dust it with sugar and serve with creme fraiche.
