Ever since we were children, we have been taught to never believe things that sound too good to be true. Most of the time, that is very true. However, when it comes to this recipe, it’s pure stupidity not to believe it. Trust me, this recipe certainly is as good as it sounds!
The pictures are not fooling you, I promise. The brownies are just as fudgy, sweet, decadent, and delicious as you think. This recipe is a collaboration with, one and only, Emma, from FruitAndRoutes. We decided to use her cookie dough recipe and my favourite and best brownie recipe. On top of being so simple to make, the brownies are filled to the rim with all the good stuff including flavour and great ingredients!
Enjoy, guys!
PS. This collaboration has been the best of times, and Emma truly is an amazingly sweet and awesome person. You REALLY should check out her blog and Instagram!
