Equals lots and lots of chocolate! Not to be eaten if you are on a diet.

Ingredients

180g dark cooking chocolate, chopped
180g white cooking chocolate, chopped
80g extra dark cooking chocolate, chopped
3 x regular size chocolate bars (bounty, cherry ripe and mars bar work best), chopped
150g butter, chopped
1 1/2 cups caster sugar
4 eggs
1 tsp baking powder
1/3 cup cocoa powder
1 1/4 cups plain flour

1. Pre-heat oven to 160 degrees.
2. Place 180g of dark chocolate and butter in a small saucepan. Stir and melt over low heat. Take it off the heat as soon as the mixture is combined and glossy.
3. Meanwhile in a large mixing bowl, gently beat the eggs and sugar together. The mixture will become thick and the sugar will not dissolve at this stage.
4. Pour the melted chocolate mixture into the eggs and stir to combine.
5. Sift and add the cocoa, flour, baking powder and stir to combine. This mixture will become very thick.
6. Fold through the extra dark chocolate, white chocolate and chocolate bars.
7. Line a medium sized square/rectangular cake tin and pour the mixture into the tin.
8. Bake for approximately 50mins or until cooked. Cool and cut into squares.
