125 ml (½ c) caster sugar

5 ml (1 t) vanilla essence

Preheat the oven to 180 °C. Lightly grease a 12 x 30 cm baking tin and line with baking paper.

1 Melt the butter and chocolate pieces in a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water over low heat.

2 In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, caster sugar and vanilla essence. Stir in the melted chocolate mixture, then fold in the flour, almonds and chopped chocolate.

3 Scrape the mixture into the prepared pan and spread to the edges. Bake for 30 minutes or until the top has a firm crust. Allow to cool in the pan, then cut into squares.
