Ingredients:

1 cup raisins
180g
1/2 cup rum
120g
1/2 cup butter
110g
1 cup dark chocolate
230g
3/4 cup brown sugar
170g
2 eggs
100g
1.50 cups all-purpose white wheat flour
190g
1/2 cup walnuts
120g
1/3 cup sour cream
72g

Instructions:

2. Preheat Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8x8 inch baking pan, or line it with parchment paper.
4. Combine Wet Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the brown sugar and eggs until well combined and slightly frothy.
- Add the melted butter and chocolate mixture, stirring until smooth.
5. Incorporate Sour Cream:
- Fold in the sour cream until fully integrated into the batter.
6. Add Flour:
- Gradually add the all-purpose flour, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix as this can make the brownies tough.
9. Bake:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (not raw batter).
11. Serve:
- Once cooled, cut into squares and serve. Enjoy your rich, decadent rum and raisin brownies!

Tips:

- Soak the raisins in rum overnight for a more intense flavor.

- Ensure the dark chocolate is finely chopped for easier melting.

- Allow the melted butter and chocolate mixture to cool slightly before adding the eggs to avoid curdling.

- Line your baking pan with parchment paper for easier removal of brownies.

- Be cautious not to overmix the batter to maintain a fudgy texture.

- Let the brownies cool completely before cutting them into squares for cleaner edges.

- Store leftover brownies in an airtight container to keep them fresh longer.

There you have it! Your Rum and Raisin Brownies are ready to be devoured. The combination of rum-soaked raisins, rich dark chocolate, and crunchy walnuts makes these brownies an irresistible treat. Serve them warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or enjoy them on their own with a cup of coffee or tea.
