Luke told me the other day how when on holidays as a child, he and his brother (Ollie) used to buy lollies and then wake themselves up and midnight to eat them just so they could say they had a midnight snack.
At first, I found this concept quite amusing but given a while to reflect I have a vague recollection of doing something similar with my brother... and since it is now 12:14pm and I'm about to go to bed after staying up late editing photographs AND theres a naughtily chocolatey brownie that I made earlier sitting on the bench, I think I might just try the midnight snack on for size...
(I posted this late last night, but have now updated it with photos to make you drool!!)
Chocolatey Midnight-Snack Brownie
This brownie is richly chocolatey, smooth and dense yet incredibly moist. Reduce the cooking time for more puddingy, gooey goodness.
