WEEKENDS :: BROWNIE CHEAT

You know when it strikes 9:30pm, you're curled up cozy, and you wish you had a sweet treat to make the evening complete? Well, if you have some common ingredients and a microwave, you're sorted. Last night I made Ben and I a 'Mug Brownie' each, and they exceeded my expectations completely... although I did feel like a dirty, dirty cheater. Nothing beats the real deal of course, but if you've got a craving that just won't quit then this is the thing for you. Got 5 minutes and a sweet tooth? Then read the recipe below!


I love adding a touch of peppermint to the mix – I think it also helps hide the not-quite-a-real-brownie taste. Give it a whirl and let me know how you get on!

    1. True, but with the amount of corner cutting involved it is kind of ridiculous!

    1. Haha yes! Although the fact that it's so easy to whip up does make it a little dangerous... Hehe have fun :)
