Monet had his waterlilies. Mozart his symphonies. And the Spice Girls had ‘Wannabe’. But these are probably my finest work. That’s a big claim to make, I know, especially if you’ve tried my six ingredient chocolate fudge flapjacks, my gooey walnut brownies or my chocolate covered hobnobs. I suppose the beauty of life is that tastes and opinions are subjective, otherwise how boring would that be, but I think you may just agree with me regarding these.
I wanted to create a recipe that was a bit of a twist on the traditional peanut butter cup, and in a moment of pure clarity I asked myself – what if the bottom was a brownie instead of chocolate? The answer was so simple but yet so perfect. Brownies + peanut butter + raw chocolate = pure and utter heaven. A theory that even Einstein himself would surely be proud of. And like e= mc2, this theory is relatively simple (see what I did there). It only requires eight ingredients for all three layers, all relatively inexpensive and easy to find too. Less faffing around = more time to eat. Another theory I’m rather proud of.
So get on with making these stat, you’ll be very glad you did!
