Chocolate and Prune Brownies
Delicious brownies with the benefit of moist prunes. Really get it organised as you will certainly be thanking me when you do.
If you haven’t baked any of Gina’s recipes on here yet, you should do yourself a flavour and get this one organised and soon. Delicious. Gina is a baker and now cooking class facilitator...go find her on her facebook page The Passionate Pantry and beyond. She is very passionate and I love that. We miss you Geens. But we still have your lovely recipes! So all good.
Can’t wait for the next one!
