No bake Chocolate Refrigerator Brownies (Microwave Recipe)

This recipe is enjoyed by my friends and family and are often referred to as “Julaine’s Chocolate Brownies”.  They are, however, a traditional South African recipe dating back to the 1950’s, for which I can make no claim to fame.

chocolate brownies no bake

Ingredients:

250g butter

500g icing sugar

7 Tbsp cocoa

2 eggs

2 packets of Marie Biscuits

Break the Marie Biscuits up into bits (about 6 to 8 pieces per biscuit).  Set aside.

Microwave the butter in a microwave dish of about 2-3 litres, on 100% power for about 2 minutes.

Sift together the dry ingredients and stir them into the butter.

Beat the eggs and stir them in too.

Microwave the mixture, uncovered on 100% power for 2-3 minutes.  Remove from the microwave and give it a good stir.

Mix the biscuit fragments into the chocolate mixture.

Spoon the mixture into a 20cmx20cm dish and allow to cool.  Refrigerate to set, once set, remove from the refrigerator and cut into 3x3cm squares.  (I usually leave them in the refrigerator over night).

Makes about 36 squares, which can be kept in the refrigerator for a few days.

P.S. You can cut the squares smaller or larger, depending on the size you require.

P.P.S. I sometimes halve the mixture if I only need to make a few.
