Buttered Grapes: Peanut butter Chocolate chip Pretzel Brownie

Something dawned on me today....and it was the fact that I am becoming an adult. I realised this when I spent the last of my money for the week on a new blanket for my bed instead of going out and buying drinks. I've been so responsible lately doing things like remembering to eat a balanced diet, getting up early for work, and keeping the house nice and neat.

This always happens in winter. I go through this nesting stage. I get all my paperwork done, organise my life, set goals, and act all mature and grown up........

To counteract all this maturity I've had to do something really super immature. So I made a recipe that is so insanely bad for you. It is the opposite of everything healthy, its full of sugar and chocolate and peanut butter and .....pretzels, and it tastes amazing.

One of my friends found the recipe and asked me to to make it for them, but I didn't love the way it turned out, so I changed it a bit and made it even more indulgent. I totally recommend it. I also recommend that when you make it you get in bed, eat a big slice, drinks some wine, watch something trashy on tv, and be completely irresponsible for at least an hour or so.
