Chocolate and hazelnut brownies

The first lot of "proper" brownies from a fairly simple recipe with no surprise ingredients! A good dark chocolate taste with the crunch of the toasted hazelnuts, pretty good taste and look really pretty spinkled with the edible gold stars! They came out looking exactly like the picture in the book, a slightly goey texture. I think a score of about 6/10 because after all this is the first recipe so this is now my bench mark for all the others!

If you can't find toasted hazelnuts don't worry just pop them (whole or chopped) in a warm, dry frying pan and let them toast for a few minutes. Don't have the pan too hot, they smell fantastic!
