Here is the recipe for Chocolate Brownies as promised...

125g chopped Butter

1 cup castor sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup plain flour
1/2 cup coarsely chopped Pecans ( I used Almonds)

1. Preheat oven to 180 degrees. Grease deep 19cm square cake pan, line base with baking paper.

2. Place butter and chocolate in small saucepan and stir over low heat until melted. Transfer mixture to large bowl. Stir in sugar and extract, then eggs, sifted flour and nuts. Pour mixture into pan.

3. Bake about 30 minutes or until set...cool in brownie pan. Dust with icing sugar.

Also, hubby did ask whether I put his Pancakes with Bolognese Filling on my blog and as it was really nice I thought I would include it also...
I will just give the recipe for the Bolognese Filling as Pancakes recipes can easily be found in cookbooks
