Chocolate and Prune Brownies

Makes 15
Ingredients
2 oz (50 g) dark chocolate (75 per cent cocoa solids), broken into pieces
2 oz (50 g) pitted pruneaux d'Agen, chopped and soaked overnight in 2 fl oz (55 ml) Armagnac
2 oz (50 g) skin-on almonds
4 oz (110 g) butter
2 large eggs, beaten
8 oz (225 g) brown sugar
2 oz (50 g) plain flour
1 level teaspoon baking powder
¼ level teaspoon salt

You will also need a non-stick baking tin measuring 10 x 6 inches (25.5 x 15 cm) and 1 inch (2.5 cm) deep, lightly greased and lined with silicone paper (baking parchment).

Begin this the night before you are going to make the brownies by soaking the chopped prunes in the Armagnac. The next day, begin by pre-heating the oven to gas mark 4, 350°F (180°C), then chop the almonds roughly, place them on a baking sheet and toast them in the oven for 8 minutes. Please use a timer here, or you'll be throwing burnt nuts away all day.
While the almonds are toasting, put the chocolate and butter together in a heatproof bowl fitted over a saucepan of barely simmering water, making sure the bowl doesn't touch the water. Allow the chocolate to melt – 4-5 minutes – remove it from the heat, then beat till smooth. Next, stir in the other ingredients, including the prunes and Armagnac, until well blended. Now spread the mixture into the prepared tin and bake on the centre shelf for 30 minutes, or until slightly springy in the centre, then leave it to cool for 10 minutes before cutting into squares and transferring to a wire rack.

papaya has a very high fiber count like bananas, so it does a great job of plugging you up. The texture is about the same as if you way 182 lbs and you eat appx. 18 ounces of bananas, a 14 planter peanuts, 2 cups of mountain berry blast koolaid and one quakers granola bar (chocolate chip). It also depends if you poo in the mourning or at night. There is a good article in the January 2004 edition of Nat. Geographic pertaining to this question (page 30-38) if you would like more info. Good luck.

When you get up in the morning, without brushing teeth, consume one cup of luke warm water. You can also include in your diet RIPE bananas.
