Okay, imagine brownies, but instead of cocoa they’re spiced like ginger bread. They’re still super delicious, fudgy, sweet, nutty, and simply scrumptious. Honestly, this is one of my new favourite Christmas treats ever! They’re like gingerbread dough in the form of brownies. Could it possibly get better? Actually, I don’t think so.
As it’s the First Advent today, I thought there was no better day to start sharing more festive recipes. I can’t wait! Anyhow, I hope you’re all having a great, relaxing day. Also, don’t let the fact that Christmas is soon here stress you out. There is still plenty of time left, folks!
In the meantime, enjoy!
