Pistachio Mon Chéri Brownies

Labels: { Cakes, Chocolate, Nuts and Seeds }

I have been on a mission to clean out the pantry, which might have resulted in some peculiar recipes here. :-))The "Mon Chéri",another chocolate product produced by Italian Ferrero, contains a "heart" of sweet cherry soaked in a liqueur and is encased in Ferrero's dark chocolate!

80 g All-purpose flour
1/2 tsp Salt
1/2 tsp Baking powder
250 g Mon Chéri liqueur chocolate©angiesrecipes
150 g Butter
200 g Sugar
3 Eggs
2 tsp Vanilla extract
70 g Pistachio, roughly chopped

Preheat the oven to 165C/330F. Grease a 20x25cm baking pan and line with foil. Brush the foil with vegetable oil.
In a bow, whisk together the flour, salt and baking powder. Melt the chocolate, butter and sugar over a pot of simmering water. Add in the flour mixture. Whisk in eggs, one a time, until fully incorporated. Add in vanilla extract and chopped pistachio.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake in the center of the hot oven for 30 minutes. Remove and cool completely on a rack. Cut into 12 squares.
