this was the most easy recipe for a totally delicious chocolate overload....I used the supermarket basic choc range as did not want to waste money if not turn out well but wow worked fine. Mine turned out as a dense choc brownie yummy I didn't bother with icing.

I suspect this was sent in by a child. There is no such thing in baking as "plain chocolate". Furthermore, any brownie recipe which uses milk chocolate uncritically (especially a predominance of milk chocolate) cannot be very good. I wouldn't waste my time and ingredients on this.
