Hiya Les!
My birthday brownies went down a treat! Sarah came round with the children and they devoured most of them in the couple of hours they were here and then asked to take some home for daddy too!
Luckily I had a secret stash hidden for me and Paul!
Thought I’d died and gone to heaven when I tasted these. They turned out perfect, the only problem was we all had one before dinner while they were still warm and were too full up to eat our fajitas!
Those Brownies were amazing! We couldn’t get enough of them and the guys from the band loved them…even though they are not meant to have chocolate before singing! Keep them coming! x
Hey Les, just wanted to let you know that the brownies you sent over with Paul were awesome. Definitely the best brownies I’ve had since I’ve been in London. Don’t hesitate to send some more our way! Thanks again ;)

when i was a little boy i once ate so many brownies that i felt ill and since then have genuinely never liked or eaten them. I was then given one of your brownies and it rekindled the love for them that caused me to eat so many in the first place!
thank you for gracing my palate with such divine sweet food
i will be eating more soon hopefully
