Work Catering Week 2: BROWNIES!

Week 2 of catering and I decided to make BROWNIES =D I didn't have heaps of time to bake so these brownies were a one pot wonder (and also less dishes to wash =p). I've made these berry and nut brownies before but this time they were thicker =D I also added pecans for a nice crunch :) 

Big tray of brownies! yum yum!! I ate the edges =p

You can find the recipe here. I just doubled it for a thicker brownie. These were definitely a HIT and got many nice comments (thanks everyone ^^).

Trying out some food photography xD

Ready for catering~

To cater for non-chocolate lovers and to balance out the sweetness I also made Lemon and Coconut "brownies"... that's what the recipe called them but I would rather call them a slice because they weren't "brown" and didn't contain chocolate =p I guess they use the same method as brownies e.g. melting butter in pot and stirring in eggs... 

anyways! I halved the amount of sugar (as per the comments made) and added more lemon zest and juice. I think you can increase the lemon for a tangier flavour.
