Cheap Chocolate Brownies

Budget friendly brownies.

This is a cheap version using cocoa powder instead of chocolate. A hint for a more gooey brownie, use dark chocolate instead of cocoa powder.

Quick to make and these brownies get eaten just as fast.

Great for the kids to make or for your kids' party or snacks. I learnt this brownie recipe at culinary school while I was learning to become a chef.
