Brownies Bonanza

I didn't want to do any work today so I decided to do something productive: make Brownies.
Charlie McDonnell (a.k.a the love of my life), recently did a video showing how to make brownies and I think making them was definitely not a waste of time...

So my Mum went out to get me some ingredients while I played Just Dance. And when she got back we got to it! The instructions I wrote down from his video were terrible! 3/4 cup of butter, 1 cup of flour, etc. were the measurements he gave, while holding the butter/flour etc. in a bowl?! So there was a lot of guess work involved in measuring out the ingredients. But melting the chocolate and butter together was so delicious, I quickly forgot about those troubles. I was convinced i'd gone wrong at one part, the melted butter was at the top of the bowl, while the sugar and chocolate was at the bottom, it did not look nice, but adding the flour and eggs really helped!

Once the mixture was ready I poured it into to tray, put it into the oven and had to wait half an hour for it to be done. I went to my room thinking I could get some homework done, but I really wanted to eat some brownies so ended up running around my room and then downstairs to check the timer every 4 minutes.
Finally, they were done, I had to leave them to cool off:

Once they were cool, I covered them in icing sugar, to which my Mum said: 'Do you really need that much?' and she started scrapping some off. So I assured her it was essential!

So, to the important bit: the taste. They were okay, not like 'Omygosh, these taste so good, it's like i've died and gone to heaven' but in a 'oh, nice brownies' kinda way. I think if I ever make them again I will find a recipe I understand and stick to it. Because with Charlie's recipe it was confusing and I definitely did not stick to it. But, to be honest, I haven't actually eaten brownies before, so maybe my opinion is slightly unreliable and I was expecting too much... I'm surprised by the texture, I hope they're supposed to be like that :|. But my Dad liked 'em so they must be good :).

At least I wrote down what I saw/heard and not copied this written recipe! I totally would have made the wrong kind of brownies following this...

So now you know what to do if you ever want to make Brownies. You're welcome ;).
