Christmas Brownies

Squidgy, chocolatey, Christmassy.

Do chocolate brownies make you salivate? For us, even the mere mention of a gooey brownie is enough to make our mouths water. 

Our Christmas Liqueur is ready from Autumn and lasts through the festive season each year. This provides plenty of opportunity for sipping the creamy caramel liqueur by the fireside, accompanied by a dribble inducing brownie!. 

2020 has seen many of us baking more than we usually would. We are no exception and took the chance to invent a brownie to relish over the festive season. To double the enjoyment, our Christmas brownies are made using our award-winning Christmas Liqueur. With an optional cheesecake swirl and a generous portion of Christmas Liqueur, they are a rich and indulgent treat. 

This recipe makes approx 8 to 10 portions.
