These are the best brownies ever, I make them all the time and my friends, family and work colleagues love them! Brilliant with the white chocolate buttons. Some advice, never leave the walnuts out because they really give something to the texture. Never be tempted to overcook them as the gooeyness is the best bit, and they dry out a little the longer you store them - not that they are ever around that long in my house!

I just saw Nigella Lawson prepare this recipe on TV and had to give it a go. It was just so easy to prepare and the brownies were perfectly 'squishy' in the middle. As Nigella said on her program "a brownie can never be too squishy in the middle". I am preparing a swag of them for Christmas day (any excuse for chocolate). On TV she added a handful of white chocolate buttons to the warm mix just before baking, I did the same for that extra gooey chocolate kick! Brilliant!

I have made these brownies a few times now and they are sooo good, and easy to make. I leave out the nuts as some family members have allergies, but they are delicious just the same. A niece even asked for them as a birthday present after she first tasted them

This is an excellent recipe. I was worried about using plain flour instead of self raising flour as worried the brownies would turn out as heavy as pieces of lead but this is not the case. They do raise a little and aren't heavy at all. However, I made sure to whip the eggs well with an electric beater to to add some air to the mixture. I have used brazil nuts instead of walnuts as I prefer them and their consistency stayed crunchy even when cooked (sometimes walnuts don't). I have halved quantities as did not want such a great batch, reduced cooking time to 18 minutes (fan assisted oven) and the brownies were all gungy and perfect. And there was still a lot of them, enough for 6/8 people I would say.

These brownies were terrible. I ended up throwing away the whole pan of them. Sorry.

I love making cakes and am always quite average but these brownies are so lovely and easy to make - I keep getting requests from family and friends to make a batch. I have also mixed almonds in too! Beware........ once you have made these, shop & cafe brought ones will never taste as nice again!!!
