A discovery that came out of lockdown are the loaded brownie slabs from Get Crackin (the same team behind Get Crackin Creme Brulee). These are almost 1kg loaded brownie slabs with various toppings to choose from – mars bar, triple choc, peanut butter, biscoff, choc mint, smores and more. I chose the Mars bar brownie […] Read more…
