Method

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 160°C fan / 350°F and line a 20cm x 20cm (8” x 8”) baking tin with baking paper.

   
2. 2

   Put the dark chocolate and margarine into a metal or glass bowl, then place the bowl over a saucepan containing 2cm (approx. 0.75”) of hot water and bring the water to a gentle simmer on a low heat (make sure the water level isn’t high enough so it’s contact with the bowl). Stir the chocolate and margarine occasionally. Once they have melted completely (this will take 3–5 minutes), remove the bowl from the heat.

   
3. 3

   Add the sugar, self-raising flour and mincemeat to the bowl. Stir until all the ingredients are fully combined.

   
4. 4

   Transfer the brownie mixture to the lined baking tin and use your fingers to level it out.

   
5. 5

   Bake in the oven for 45 minutes.

   
6. 6

   Don’t worry if it’s still a little moist in the middle. Leave the brownie to cool for 20 minutes so it firms up, then slice it into 9 squares and tuck in!

   
7. 7

   Serve up for Christmas Day dessert.
