These Three Lions Brownies combine butter, golden syrup, dark chocolate, and sugar into a rich mixture, enhanced with Lion bars and rice crispies for texture. The brownies are baked until firm and are ideal for cooling overnight for easy cutting.
1: Pre-heat the oven to 180C/160C Fan/Gas 4.
2: In a saucepan, combine butter, golden syrup, and caster sugar over medium heat, stirring until melted and dissolved.
3: Remove from heat and add chopped dark chocolate and vanilla extract; let it melt for a few minutes.
4: Chop the Lion bars into pieces and set aside.
5: Once chocolate is smooth, whisk in the eggs until thick and velvety.
6: Sift in plain flour in batches, gently folding each batch in until just combined.
7: Fold in rice crispies and Lion bar pieces.
8: Pour mixture into a lined 20cm square baking tin and bake for 25-30 minutes until firm but slightly sticky with a skewer.
9: Cool completely in the tin; refrigerate for a few hours or ideally overnight before cutting.
