Macadamia Nuts were well-known to the indigenous inhabitants of Australia, and were first discovered by early white settlers in 1828. This now immensely popular Bush Nut is found in many Australian recipes. These Chocolate Macadamia Nut Brownies can be eaten straight away or made up to a week before required. Keep covered in the refrigerator or perhaps, if you want them to still be where you've put them in a week's time, hidden. Adapted from a recipe on the "Australian Women's Weekly" website.

Awesome! Made these as directed other then I used Splenda brown sugar instead of raw brown sugar as that is all I buy. Everyone enjoyed these. Made for ZWT5.

Fudgey and intensely chocolate, it is hard to imagine anything could make these brownies better, but the little surprises in each bite of the crunchy macadamias was just heavenly. I did make these with Splenda brown sugar blend to cut the carbs, but I didn't notice anything untoward from using that. But most of all, these are the best brownies I have tried on Zaar, and I have been here for seven years. That's real high praise, and very much deserved. Thanks for sharing.

Wow great delicious and moist. My youngest daughter liked them a lot. I can't wait for my oldest to get home to have some cuz she a brownie freak as well. My photo doesn't do any justice to the recipe. Of all the photos I took all blurry except for 1. But I won't bore you with it. I'm saving this for next time. Thank you, made for "Cooks With Dirty Faces for ZWT5"
