Yup, I know they are ridiculously expensive - like £20 for a box - but I realise I'm ready to pay this to send a nice treat during lockdown weeks when we can't see DC. Evenings drawing in, not able to go to the pub... a box of brownies to share with the rest of her house sounds just the business!

I'm keen to find a family business or artisanal outfit rather than something mass produced. And yes, want them to be super delicious!

Whose have you tried? Which did they like?

This lady is amazing!!

I love her story even more, she’s a vet and was on Furlough and started baking for her village (for free) and it’s now turned into a business.

I’ve tried the cakes and they really are delicious 😋

I’ve used a couple of Etsy sellers, the couture cake co and sugar and spicer treats. Both were good but the second ones were better as they were more gooey.

Holly Bell's brownies are incredible; lots of different varieties and exquisitely presented, so perfect for gifts. I think she does a subscription service too. mrsbellsbrownies.com/product-category/brownies/

Family run small ethical business in Somerset. They make amazing brownies in different flavours.

'Homemade and Moreish chocolate brownies are made with Fairly Traded, 70% cocoa dark Belgian chocolate, all of the packaging is biodegradable, and my ovens run on solar powered electricity – so even though the brownies are a bit naughty, they’re actually very good!'

Gareth’s delicious delights are very good. No website just on facebook. His chocolates are gorgeous too, especially the raspberry ruffles.

Gower Cottage. Someone sent me some after my baby was born and they were divine!
