Ingredients

For the Brownies

2 squares of unsweetened baking chocolate
½ cup of butter or margarine
2 eggs
1 cup of granulated sugar
1½ tsp. of vanilla extract
½ tsp. of almond extract (optional for a nutty flavor)
½ cup of self-rising flour

For the Cream Filling

3 tbsp. of butter or margarine
1½ cups of confectioners' sugar
2-3 tbsp. of milk (to achieve desired consistency)
½ tsp. of vanilla extract

For the Glaze

2 squares of unsweetened baking chocolate
1 tbsp. of butter or margarine
Optional: ½ cup of confectioners' sugar (for sweetness)

Instructions

Melt the Chocolate: In a saucepan over low heat, melt the unsweetened baking chocolate and butter/margarine together, stirring until smooth.

🍫 If you prefer a richer chocolate flavor, consider using dark chocolate instead of unsweetened. Just adjust the sugar accordingly!

Mix the Brownie Batter: In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs and sugar together until well-combined. Add the vanilla and almond extracts, followed by the melted chocolate mixture. Gradually fold in the self-rising flour until just combined.
Bake: Pour the brownie batter into a greased and floured 8x8 inch baking pan. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 20-30 minutes.

⏰ Be careful not to overbake; a toothpick inserted in the center should come out slightly moist with a few crumbs attached.

Cool: Allow the brownies to cool for about 30 minutes in the pan.
Make the Cream Filling: In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter/margarine. In a bowl, mix together the melted butter with confectioners' sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. If needed, add more milk to achieve a spreadable consistency.
Spread the Filling: Once the brownies are cool, spread the cream filling evenly over the top.
Make the Glaze: For the glaze, melt the unsweetened baking chocolate and butter/margarine together in a saucepan. Stir in the optional confectioners' sugar for sweetness.
Finish the Brownies: Pour the glaze over the cream filling and ensure it’s evenly distributed. Refrigerate the brownies for at least one hour.
Serve: Cut into squares and enjoy these delightful treats!

🧊 For easier cutting, you can run a knife under hot water before slicing the brownies. This will give you cleaner edges.

Tips for Success

Storage: Keep the brownies in the refrigerator to maintain their freshness and texture.
Get Creative: Add nuts, chocolate chips, or even a sprinkle of sea salt on top for added flavor!

Variations

Peppermint Twist: Add peppermint extract to the cream filling for a festive touch!
Nutty Delight: Fold in some chopped walnuts or pecans into the brownie batter for an added crunch.
Caffeine Kick: Incorporate instant coffee granules into the melted chocolate for a mocha flavor.

Indulge in these brownies and treat your taste buds to a delightful chocolate experience! 😍🍫✨
