Jaffa Cakes are one of my favourite biscuits and they ARE biscuits by the way -- even though they have a soft 'bottom' but let's leave the biscuits versus cake argument for another day...

Jaffa Cakes are hands down one of the tastiest sweet treats. The sponge, followed by orange jelly encased in milk chocolate are three of my favourite things all rolled into one. And I love the Jaffa Cake/Brownie combo.

I know you'll love it too.

So these chocolate brownies are already pretty amazing in their own right. What's not to love about the fudgiest, gooiest, chewiest brownie on earth?

Finding an amazing brownie recipe is like hitting the jackpot. The bonus is these Jaffa Cake Brownies are so quick and easy to make.

6 tricks for perfect brownies

1. Good quality dark chocolate
   The type of chocolate you use is important. It has to be good quality dark chocolate - around 70% cocao. Full-bodied chocolate like this is strong and intense without being overpowering.
2. Fudgy dense brownies that ooze when you squeeze
   For gooey brownies, you'll need to add more butter, eggs and melted chocolate than flour and cocoa powder.
3. A little bit of oil goes a long way
   I learnt the oil trick from Karina at Cafe Delites. She explains that the addition of oil is what keeps the brownie centres "extremely fudgy" and she is spot on.
4. Technique, technique, technique
   Whisk the eggs and sugar really REALLY well until the mixture is frothy and tiny bubbles appear on the surface. Then, using a metal spoon stir the melted butter and chocolate into the mixture in large, looping exaggerated movements. Lastly, fold in the flour and cocoa powder carefully. Treat the brownie mixture as gently as you would a chocolate ticking time bomb!
5. Add in something special
   In our case the star of the show: Jaffa Cakes. YUM! Honestly, you could go to town here. Dried fruit, peanut butter, caramel, chocolate chips, nuts, Oreos...
6. Timing is everything
   I baked these Jaffa Cake Brownies for 20 minutes but checked them after 15. Too long in the oven and there will be no oozing chocolate to salivate over so keep a close eye. Check out this article for an amazing visual of how to tell if brownies are undercooked, done or overcooked.

When you've made the perfect brownie batter, pour half of it into a cake tin and add a layer of Jaffa Cakes.

Add the remaining brownie mix and top with even more Jaffa Cakes for the ultimate Jaffa Cake Brownies!

Follow these top tips and you will end up with the gooiest, fudgiest, tastiest brownies you've ever put in your mouth.

Just LOOK at how fudgy they are!
