Ingredients

  • 175g butter, plus extra for greasing
  • 180g pack Cadbury Dairy Milk chocolate, cut into small chunks
  • 200g dark brown soft sugar
  • 3 medium free range eggs
  • 100g plain flour, sifted
  • 3 tbsp cocoa
  • 6 white marshmallows

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 180ºC, gas mark 4. Grease a shallow 20cm square tin and line with baking parchment. Melt the butter in a medium pan, then take off the heat. Add half the chocolate chunks and allow to melt, stirring occasionally.

  2. Stir in the sugar, then the eggs. Sift in the flour and cocoa, mix until smooth, then add the remaining chocolate. Scrape the mixture into the lined tin.

  3. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until risen with a slight wobble under the crust when you jiggle the pan. Cool completely in the tin on a wire rack (about 4 hours). For a super-fudgy texture, loosely cover and chill for 1-2 hours more, then remove from the tin and peel the paper away from the sides.

  4. Put the marshmallows on a microwave-safe plate. Heat on full power for 5 seconds, or until starting to melt. Cool briefly, check they’re not too hot to touch, then pull each marshmallow across the brownie in long spider web strands (slightly damp fingers will help). Cut into 16 squares and keep in an airtight container for up to 5 days, in or out of the fridge.

Cook’s tip

Add edible eyes, peeping from the cobwebs, for a super spooky finish.
