Black Badger Bars

These delicious and extremely moreish (think addictive) bars are an energy packed version of a brownie, with the addition of ground almonds, dried apricots and Hodmedod’s Black Badger Carlin Peas.

Super easy to make as they are made with a tin of our Black Badger Carlin Peas, great if you don’t happen to have any cooked peas to hand, you can just grab a can out of the store cupboard.

They make a perfect addition to lunch boxes or picnics and are loved by adults and children alike.

Put the chocolate, butter, cocoa and sugar in a heatproof bowl over a pan of gently simmering water.

Stir occasionally, until the chocolate and butter has melted and the mixture is smooth.

In a food processor, whizz the drained peas until coarsely ground.

Add the ground almonds, baking powder, eggs and chocolate mixture and process until combined.
