Who can resist a brownie? Not me, not ever! Like a magic blend of cookie and pudding, brownies outrank every dessert there is in the always-in-the-mood-for stakes. You don’t even need a spoon – or a plate, I’d argue.
Brownies beckon you closer with every mouthful. They’re rich, chocolatey, squidgy, oozy, gooey little bars from heaven that you can’t keep your hands off of.
They’re made just right for you to curl up on the couch with, as you make your way through another helping and lick that melted chocolate goo off your sticky little fingers.
It’s hard to think of anything better than a classic brownie – with crusty edges that give way to cocoa lava – but we’re about to put the cherry on the cake. Or raspberries, rather.
These little juice gems add a beautiful pop of tartness to the dark chocolate and a brand new level of texture, moisture and flavour.
Taste buds, prepare for liftoff.
