Stacked Brownies

Stacks on stacks on STACKS.

Can’t decide whether you want a cookie or a brownie? I'm here to say "why not both?" It's building up to be another wet weekend, so sweet comfort foods seem smart.

These are some multi-layered brownie ridiculousness. Make a soft but sticky cookie dough, then top it with a layer of Oreos and THEN over the top of that pour over a silky smooth brownie batter.

Bake it. Eat it. Weep.

I have heard people put all sorts in the middle of the two layers, including peanut butter cups (YUM!). I've been thinking a lot about this - a distinctly delicious UK twist would be to use custard creams in place of the Oreos. Or even better, the king of biscuits, BOURBON CREAMS.

 

Chewy Ginger Nuts

I bought a tin of dark treacle ages ago when I had a craving for Jamaican ginger cake and then it just sat sadly at the back of my cupboard, unused.

But then I was spending a Sunday trawling through my recipe books for inspiration and I found a killer recipe for chewy ginger biscuits. I made a few subs to get my treacle in there and they came out PERFECTLY. Really soft but with crisp edges. Sweet but dark. Ridiculously flavourful. Hella delicious.

I love a crackle-top cookie!

Bake and enjoy! They are perfect for a little snack, but I am also picturing a dessert featuring them slightly warmed, with vanilla ice-cream on top and then drizzled with chopped nuts/honey and thinking that would be INCREDIBLE.
