Chocolate and almond brownies

Pin It Now!

I knew when the rainy season approaching soon at last couples weeks ago beyond doubt as most of the time the skies were looks grey all afternoon and the evening became very pleasantly afterwards, nice and chill…

Yesterday was totally grey all day as the rainy season has just started, it rains, drizzled, rains again and all of sudden it stopped at early evening.

The mood was streaming groovy and the feeling drives me cooking, tiding the house and baking at the same time, all have been flowing smoothly. I love rainy season, it feels calm and peacefully

Just love these day weather, its just like our fond to brownies, little cutie square, intense of dark chocolate and scrumptious and I thought it would be perfect delicate snack to our greyish daytime. 

The brownies I did yesterday was unbelievable yummy, the new ingredients I had been explore were into our liking, they are the truest delight I have ever had so far, incredible moist and ultra fudge,  it was beyond flavour ...

The recipe can be found here, I adapted including reducing amount of sugar and the butter also I’ve made modified the used of almond, topping the thin slices of almond instead of chopping the almond and mix into the batter, the reason is just because I don’t really like nut--bit and pieces to much to my brownies.
