100 g butter
2 eggs
100 g brown sugar
60 g all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 pinch of salt

Add the melted chocolate mixture to the egg mixture and mix well.
Fold in the sifted flour, baking powder, and pinch of salt until combined.
Pour the batter into a baking pan lined with parchment paper.
Bake for 20 minutes. Don’t overbake — the brownie should stay fudgy inside.
Let cool, cut into squares, and enjoy!
The Jungly nougat adds a very special flavor with its crunchy texture and nostalgic milk chocolate taste. A perfect recipe to use up leftover nougat after the holidays… or to buy one on purpose just for this.
2. Homemade Churros with Hot Chocolate
✅ Ingredients (for 2–3 people):
For the churros:
250 ml water

1 tbsp olive oil
1 pinch of salt
Oil for frying

200 ml milk
75 g hot chocolate bar
Sugar to taste
⏱ Total time: 25 minutes
Difficulty: Medium (due to frying)
⭐ Flavor: 10/10
Step-by-step preparation:
Churros:
In a saucepan, bring the water, salt, and oil to a boil.

Heat plenty of oil in a frying pan.
Pipe strips of dough directly into the hot oil. Fry until golden, then drain on paper towels and sprinkle with sugar.
