1. Preheat oven to 180°C / 160°C Fan / Gas Mark 4. Grease and line a 20cm square tin or brownie tin.
2. Place the butter and chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and melt in the microwave in 30 second intervals until melted. Stir to combine and set aside to cool.
3. In a large bowl, beat together the eggs and sugar with an electric whisk until pale in colour and increased in size. Add the FRANK'S RedHot® Original Sauce.
