Ingredients
325g Dark Chocolate
175g Soft Brown Sugar
90g Flaked Almonds
170g Sultanas Currents and Raisins
80g Glacé Cherries
30g Chopped Mixed Candied Peel
50g Cocoa
200ml Guinness / Stout
50ml Rum
50 ml Brandy
25 ml Irish Whisky
4 Medium Eggs
150g Flour
250g Butter
1 teaspoon orange oil
1 teaspoon lemon oil
1 teaspoon of mixed spice
Method
- In a non metallic bowl add the mixed fruit, candied peel and cherries and pour over the Guinness and all other Alcohol. Add the orange oil, lemon oil and mixed spice. Cover and leave in the fridge over night.
- The next day melt the butter and chocolate over a Bain Marie on the hob or in the microwave blasting for 20 seconds stirring and repeating until fully melted. Set the oven to 160c.
- Cream the Eggs and Sugar together in a mixer or by hand until frothy
- Add the flour, cocoa and melted butter and chocolate to the mix and combine all ingredients. Then fold in the soaked fruit and spice mix and add the flaked almonds.
- Line a 20x20cm baking tin with baking parchment. Pour in the brownie mix and place in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool for at least 20 minutes, they are best left to set in the fridge overnight and warmed slightly the next day. These will also keep for a few weeks and will actually get better, you could feed them with more spirits if you desired;-)
- Cut into around 15-20 pieces.
- Enjoy with brandy butter or custard or ice cream or all of the above ;-)
