This should be big enough to make 24 squares, although you can easily adjust the recipe depending on the size of the baking tins you have at home.
Though other recipes require milk chocolate, the domestic goddess advises you to use 360g (12 1/2 oz) of Bournville plain chocolate – which gives this desert an extra decadent flavour.
Now is the perfect time to get out any frustration, as you break the dark chocolate into pieces and add to a large heat proof bowl along with 225g (8oz) of butter.
Bring a pan of water to a simmer and place the bowl on top, allowing your ingredients to melt and slowly combine.

Mix well before adding 75g (3oz) of self-raising flour, one teaspoon of vanilla extract and 75g (3oz) of chocolate chips.
Then bake for 45 minutes, whilst you catch up on the latest episode of Bake Off!
Before removing your brownies from the oven, you’ll need to make sure that they have risen and are cooked through but still slightly squidgy in the centre.
When they are done, leave to cool for 10 minutes before cutting into squares – or slabs depending on how hungry you are.

For those looking for something a little more savoury though, the TV chef has another recipe which will warm you up this winter.
With coughs and cold being everywhere at the minute, Mary Berry’s autumnal tomato soup is perfect is need quick pick me up.
Even better, there’s no need to chop onions or skin tomatoes which drastically reduces the amount of prep time needed to make this staple dish.
However, we do recommend venturing outside and getting some crusty bread to go with your soup – if you are feeling up to it.
