Green Tea (Matcha) Chocolate Brownies

My sister has brought me quite a lot of green tea chocolate when she visited, we wanted to make good use to it by using them to make rich green tea flavour cakes, something gooey like fondant would be best, so I decided to make these rich green tea chocolate brownies. We all love it so much :-d

Cherie Kelly's Green Tea (Matcha) Chocolate Brownies

This is the matcha chocolate we used, it is very rich on its own, even greater to be an ingredient to make cakes.
