Anything for hungry relatives

I am partial to a bit of Facebook now and again and I'm even more partial to relatives. I'm definitely partial to cooking, so when I get a chance to mix all three I jump up and down with delight!

This all came about whilst perusing Facebook this morning and noting that one of my adorable relatives was hankering for a brownie, What can be more yummy than some brownies and a nice steaming cup of something hot, be it coffee, tea or cocoa?

I've trawled my memory banks for the best brownie recipe I could find so jump into your favourite chair, with a duvet and a book, and strategically place those brownies and drink within reach, Ah blissss.................
