brownies bettered by leftovers

is it possible? well, I have to say that I believe I have found a leftover that makes brownies better!
The old faithful Christmas pud that we feel obliged to serve but is not everyone's favourite added to brownie mixture makes the brownies taste even better and the pudding tastes excellent - how can this be I hear you ask?
I do not know - all I know is the whole is better than the 2 halves that make this wonderful cakey pud and I am serving this t my family on Christmas day.
So do not throw away that 1/2 pud languishing in your fridge on boxing day but make these and you will be dashing out to the supermarket to buy up all the Xmas puds on offer ready to bake before Christmas next year!

Festive chocolate brownies

200g butter
400g caster sugar
4 eggs

100g white chocolate cut into chunks (little snow balls in the mix!)
6 or so large dessert spoons of left over Xmas pud


1)       Line a 20x30cm shallow roasting tin with baking parchment
2)       Melt the butter, cocoa and sugar in a large saucepan
3)       Add the cocoa and milk chocolate and allow the chocolate to melt.
4)      Beat in the eggs and then the flour and spoon into the tin
5)      Using your fingers crumble the leftover Xmas pud onto the mixture with the white chocolate and swirl around with your finger to mix it in a little.

These taste even better after a few days (if you can keep them that long)
