Hard Crust Fudge Squares

I just received baking books as gifts from a cyber friend and at the same time wanted to bake something for my new Bangladesh neighbor. While excitedly glancing through the best-selling books, this one caught my eyes because it seems different than the typical brownies I made before. These brownies are awesome.... unlike the typical brownies which have thin crackle surface, this one has thick crispy crust on top almost like cookies whilst the inside part is moist fudgy like melting chocolate! I'm glad I tried it as it is a new discovery that added to my baking recipe collections.

Yields: 9" square, 36 pieces
INGREDIENTS:
155g Unsweetened Chocolate Chips
125g Unsalted Butter
125g Veg Shortening (I used Margarine)
4 large Eggs
500g Sugar
250g Plain Flour - sifted

METHOD:
1. Place chocolate, butter and margarine in a bowl and double-boil until melted and smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
2. Beat eggs and sugar with electric mixer at medium speed, 5-10 min until light and thick.
Fold-in chocolate mixture and flour, mixing only until the ingredients are incorporated.
Pour into lined & greased tin.
3. Bake at 165C for 45 minutes.
4. Cut into 1½ inch squares while still hot. The thick crust will crack which are ok.

BAHASA MALAYSIA VERSION
 Pada satu hari Along terkejut sangat apabila dapat banyak buku2 resipi popular seperti Willams-Sonoma, Betty Crocker, Nigella Lawson dan Dan Lepard dari seorang sahabat alam maya.... Gembira sangat rasa nya sebab Along memang gemar kumpul buku2 resipi dari barat. Along suka baca buku resipi macam baca buku novel.... amat menghiburkan. Semuga Allah membalas budi sahabat Along ni dengan keberkatan rezeki, kesihatan dan kesejahteraan. Ini resipi pertama yg Along tertarik nak cuba. Along kongsikan di sini, semuga pahala nya berpanjangan untuk sahabat Along ini.... aameen.

Along tertarik nak cuba resepi ni sebab lain dari brownies yg Along dah cuba sebelum ni. Yang ini ada kerak yg tebal dan rangup di permukaan nya sedangkan isi dalam nya amat lembab dengan coklat cair. Mengasyikkan dan makan seketul tak cukup pula....heheee.

Kebetulan Along nak kasi sesuatu pada jiran kenalan baru dari Bangladesh. Bila nampak jer brownies ni, terus jer berkenan nak cuba.
