Recently this blog joined the PR Friendly Aussie Blog Directory - go & check out the badge on the right side of this page. I was a bit conflicted about taking sponsorship & so on, it seemed like some kind of a sell out. But I really wanted to review some products & host giveaways without compromising my opinion, so I thought Well, I'll just see what happens...I can always decline a product, & if I review it & don't like it I am bloody well going to say so.
So rest assured that my opinions are always my own. Also, let me say for the record, that Donna Hay's Molten Chocolate Chunk Brownies are fucking awesome. Yes, I said it - they are AWESOME.
I am not one for short cuts or packaged mixes of any kind - but c'mon! It's Donna Hay!!
Also - BROWNIES.
The instructions are easy, simply mix in 150g of melted butter, 2 eggs, & the extra packet of chopped up proper chocolate. Yes, proper chocolate - check it out. No cheap arsed manky choc chips here.
The instructions said 40 mins at 160 degrees, but knowing my oven runs hotter than most I turned the heat down & checked at 30 mins. I thought I had burnt them slightly but not at all - the packet says This brownie has a thin, crisp top that gives way to a fudgy, dense cake studded with molten pieces of chocolate. It is no lie, even after leaving it to cool for 30 minutes the chocolate was still molten.
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm.......

| Excuse me? It was supposed to be cooling? |

| Warmed up slightly, served with cookies & cream ice cream. OMG. |
Also in Donna Hay's Home Bake line up is Vanilla Cupcakes, Chocolate Cupcakes, & Almond Macaron with Chocolate Filling (which I can't wait to try out). The range has no artificial colours, flavours or preservatives.
Donna Hay was kind enough to provide me with an extra box of Chocolate Chunk Brownie Mix to give away, so if you would like to
The winner will be drawn on Monday 18th July.
