Assam Prune Chocolate Brownies
Assam Prune Chocolate Brownies recipe shared by The TeaShed.
I think brownies are one baking classic that you can’t go wrong with. They always go down a treat and a plate full will never last long with hungry guests! These Assam Prune Chocolate Brownies would be perfect with an afternoon cup of tea (TeaShed, of course) or for dessert with a scoop or two of creamy vanilla ice cream.
Pick Me Up at 3 *Tea is a hearty caffeine rich Assam tea, perfect for afternoon energy slumps. We all have that lull between lunch and dinner especially after filling up of yummy food. So this is where we need something to keep us going and brighten up our afternoon!
