Gluten Free Dark Chocolate Brownies

May-Button-ClaireyI was clearing and cleaning out the pantry the other day, putting groceries away, and just moving things around.

It was then that I discovered I have a mouse/mice, as my packet of Self Raising flour had a hole it in, as did my caster sugar and my muesli.

I wasn’t happy.

I bought a few traps, and so far I have caught one of those bastards.  Thank you peanut butter (I know I shouldn’t have it in the house, but peanut butter is like chocolate to mice).

While in my cleaning mode, I found dark chocolate, that I totally forgot I had.  Still in it’s best before date (for another year, whoot), so I figured I should use it before I forget that it’s there.

So I thought about what can I make for the kids that I know that they will eat.  Brownies came to mind.

Out came the cookbook to my trusty Brownie recipe, which I have made a zillion times.  I have no idea where I found it.  All I know it’s hand written (in my awful writing).

The original recipe is not Gluten Free.  However I decided to Gluten Free-ied this recipe and it’s divine.  So Enjoy!
