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?

@bengalcat Did they enjoy it?

My box is coming tomorrow and I can't wait to try them.

Yes received a text to say they were AMAZING

Grazed brownies, received some in the post for a birthday, fits through your letter box, £20 for 25 pieces, thick and dense and so so good

Gower’s chocolate brownies are absolutely amazing...a friend sent them to me and they didn’t last long !! Truly scrumptious.

dottiedaisee · 10/11/2020 21:42

In fact I am going to order some for myself tonight...Gower Cottage ...heaven !!

Another vote for Hetty's kitchen -amazing

BessMarvin · 10/11/2020 22:07

Of course the only way to know which are the best is to try all of these recommendations. It's a tough job but someone's got to do it.

@LEELULUMPKIN

I am very cross with everyone on this thread.

Thanks to you all I have just ordered the Coffee and Walnut Brownies from Gower Cottage.

I will report back on Wednesday with my review!

I’m furious! I’m just about to pay for Gower Cottage brownies. Boom goes my diet. Grin

Was very impressed with Gower Cottage - ordered Monday lunchtime and delivery arrived at DD’s in Durham next day lunchtime by DHL - no additional delivery charge . Would definitely order again - for me this time !

I really, really, REALLY recommend Bayside Brownies in Dorset. Family run business and they do nothing but brownies so are true specialists. Also, the owner does a brownie of the month which changes regularly -- currently Christmas themed!

Sorry should have added the most important point they are the BEST brownies. Honestly, the BEST.

The BEST (just to be clear Grin

Loving this thread, now off to order and try some brownies from Gower brownies seen as I live in Swansea 😂

YummyInMyTummy · 11/11/2020 10:24

Bit late to the party, but another vote for Gower Cottage! I was sent them after each of my babies were born and they were amazing! I’ve sent them as presents since and they’ve gone down soooo well!

bridgetreilly · 11/11/2020 10:30

While we're here, does anyone have recommendations for delivery doughnuts?

Whatsnewpussyhat · 11/11/2020 10:34

Gower Cottage chocolate orange brownie, microwaved for 30 seconds with a large dollop of vanilla ice cream. Heaven.

Finch Bakery definitely if you’re looking to support a family business!

bengalcat · 11/11/2020 10:42

Well this is a great thread for bolstering Britain’s bakeries - good for them .

burpy · 11/11/2020 10:48

'Bake me happy' do brownies either as a one off or a postal subscription , they are delicious and Joy who runs it is a one one woman business , these little businesses need supporting

LEELULUMPKIN · 11/11/2020 11:34

I am sitting here stalking my DPD driver online waiting for my Gower cottage delivery.

She is 8 stops away, approx 30 mins!

Can't wait.

Note to self: A life - Get one.

A Pie Party apieparty.co.uk/ does amazing brownies and baked goods. She’s practically a one woman band and a lovely person to boot.

Just noticed Hetty's Kitchen has already been mentioned twice!

loveyouradvice · 11/11/2020 15:44

Hey hey.... Gower Brownies hit the spot!

Only got DD reports on how delicious and big smiles on faces of housemates....

And what I loved was knowing PRECISELY when they were being delivered (a one hour window emailed on the day!) and that they're from the Gower... one of our favourite holiday places so lots of happy memories intertwined with the chocolate
