Dark Chocolate & Hazelnut Brownies with Chocolate Icing
I decided to vary my Dark Chocolate & Almond Brownies recipe by swapping the almond meal for hazelnut meal, and the almonds for hazelnuts. Yummy variation!
I also decided to ice them and write things on them with a red icing pen (store-bought) for friends & hubby. Below is the recipe for the chocolate icing I made, based on a similar recipe from bestrecipes.com.au. Very easy to make :-) Both the icing and brownies were well liked too by friends and hubby.
Note: Icing only is gluten free :-)
Simple Chocolate Icing
Ingredients
- 3 cups icing sugar, sifted
- 1/2 cup cocoa

Method
- Melt butter and cooking chocolate over low-medium heat, stirring frequently.
- Transfer mixture to a large bowl, and sift in icing flour and cocoa.
