Ingredients
115 gms butter
150 gms milk chocolate
80 gms dark chocolate
2 eggs
120 gms brown sugar
80 gms flour
1 tsp. baking powder

Method
Split open the bourbon biscuits in half. Layer them, cream side up, on a greased and lined baking dish. The entire base should be covered with the biscuits.
Preheat the oven to 180ºC.
Melt the chocolate and butter over a double boiler (I prefer this but a microwave also works).
Whisk eggs and sugar together. Add to the chocolate mixture and mix well.
Add sifted flour and baking powder and fold into the chocolate mix.
The brownie mixture goes over the biscuits.
Bake at 180ºC for 25-30 minutes.
Flip it over gently and there you have it. A delicious brownie with a bourbon biscuit top.
