Description

When you have a friend passing by your home town on a train journey. Would you miss the opportunity of meeting them even if it was for ten minutes. I grabbed it and made sure to pack a few edible goodies for my friend. Brownies being my friends favourite, I made four types of brownies, chocolate chip brownies, blondies, dolce de leche brownies and this new try of chocolate hazelnut brownies. The first three I have already treated my friend with and the dulce de leche brownies were my friends favourite always. This time I was surprised that the the new try chocolate hazelnut brownies took over the Dulce de leche brownies. My friend had her moments of hiding and eating it all by herself. Now that’s a good sign of the brownies being divine isn’t it ? My mission accomplished with her eating all of it as me always want her to get fat and plump .
