to have spent the afternoon making...

[dandycandyjellybean]

chocolate chip cookies, shortbread and digestive biscuits, when the house really needs a good tidy and there is a mountain of clean washing to put away. AND...to spend the rest of the evening covering half of the digestives in melted choc (whilst sipping a massive large g&t), rather than do needed chores?

YANBU - I went to the shops earlier and bought a new mop and the ingredients to make chocolate brownies... guess which 'chore' has been done?

am embarrassed to admit to hearing a brill recipe for choc brownies on ...(whispers) womans hour...although i was stuck in a massive traffic jam at the time. Were your brownies gorgous?

Still cooling - but it's a well trusted reecipe that always comes out awesome.

Alas, I'm on a sodding diet, they are a thank you to someone for doing a little job for me! But since I have to give them to someone, I suppose I need to check the quality...

DD brought how superb Brownies from school (cue Katymac ringing round friends mums to find recipe......3 friends later, wow they were good)

Please panda and Katy can I ask you to pm me the recipes?! Pleaseeee?!

Oh I thought you were going to ask if you were BU for spending the afternoon making sloe gin in the bathtub.

Carry on so.

oh well I didn't like to mention that.....'

175g Butter
350g sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla essence
3 eggs
125g plain flour
1 level teaspoon baking powder
50g cocoa
100g chocolate chips

Cream butter & sugar, add eggs & vanilla, fold in flour, cocoa & chocolate chips

I use a large baking tray lined with greaseproof & a medium hottish oven until it?s sort of solid

YAB very U not to post the recipe of the chocolate digestives!

Thanks KatyMac for that recipe, will make tomorrow... for ds, as I am also on a diet...may be posting a moral brownie dilemma tomorrow!
