Exciting times!

In the back of Pear Shaped I bemoaned the lack of great brownie brands in the UK.  And then a lovely  lady called Lauren informed me, via the medium of Twitter, that Bluebasil do a pretty amazing brownie.  I have to admit I hadn't even heard of Bluebasil - even though they've won a Great Taste Gold award for their brownies last year.  Shameful on my part.

I wrote to Bluebasil and they very kindly sent me a package of treats.  Which really was amazing, as I had a shockingly hard week last week, but when I walked through my front door on Friday night, I was greeted by this:

inside of which was this:

and then THIS!

and THIS!

Truth be told, I would have loved them just on the basis of the beautiful packaging and the note alone -  I'm a sucker for nice touches.

But seriously, the brownies were outstanding.  Super squidgy, fudgy, mega-chocolatey.  I ate the white chocolate chunk brownie at room temperature and it was absolute perfection.  I let my mate Dave have a share in the classic chunky one and he agreed that they were amazing.  I almost saw a flicker of a look on his face that seemed to suggest they might be better than the ones I make but Dave is a smart lad, aren't you Dave?
