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!
