Happy Wednesday 🙂  Today I am sharing some Chocolate Brownies that i’m sure will make you want to get into your kitchen and start baking.
I used two different types of nuts in my mixture but if you prefer to use only one that will be fine, you could also add some more nuts if you wish too.
You can easily cut the brownies up smaller as I have cut them quite large and they are very very moorish and yes … very rich too but so so good.
The brownies will continue to cook while they are cooling and they will also dry up a bit overnight too.
These are really delicious and are great served with custard, ice cream or cream or just put straight in your mouth 🙂
I hope you enjoy xx
