Like brownies but without the nuts, these bars are a bit sinful. Eat plain or ice patterns or messages.

Chocolate Truffle Bars

Like brownies but without the nuts, these bars are a bit sinful. Eat plain or ice patterns or messages.

Method

1. Preheat oven to 180°C/350°F/gas 4. Line a 20cm/8in square tin with baking paper. Sit a bowl over a pan of gently simmering water.
2. Break chocolate up. Tip it into bowl with butter. Allow to melt
slowly, then stir together. Remove bowl from the heat.
3. Beat in the sugar and vanilla. Whisk all the eggs in vigorously.
4. Sift in flour and salt. Beat thoroughly. Tip truffle mix into the tin.
5. Cook for 35 minutes. Test (a skewer or cocktail stick should come out clean). It should still be a bit moist.
6. Remove. Cool in tin, marking into bars after 10 minutes.
