Preheat the oven to 160C and grease and line a standard brownie tin.

2

Place the dark chocolate, butter and both sugars in a saucepan and melt gently over low heat. Once melted, remove from the heat and whisk in the cocoa powder. Pour it into a mixing bowl and allow to cool for 5 minutes.

3

Mix the eggs into the chocolate and then mix through the flour until a smooth batter forms.

4

Pour 2/3 of the batter into the tin and then place the Turkish delight bars in a row on top. Pour over the remaining batter and bake for 30-35 minutes. Let it cool before slicing and serving.
