Bloomin' brilliant brownies
This great little recipe is taken from my Little Book Of Big Treats which I put together exclusively for Comic Relief. All you have to do is bake a few of these and sell them to your friends, family, colleagues or schoolmates and you'll have raised an extra few quid for Comic Relief and their brilliant causes. What could be easier?
