Hot chocolate and brownie season has arrived in the Milne hoosie! We love these Pumpkin Spice Brownies they are so delicious with a milky cream topped hot chocolate. They are packed with all the flavours of Autumn and are lovely served warm with a dollop of fresh cream.
These delicious Pumpkin spice brownies are crunchy on the outside but soft and slightly chewy on the inside. You can mix up the nuts and the spice flavours for a bit of experiment. They are delicious served warm with ice cream or with whipped cream and chocolate sauce or lovely cold as a fire side snack. We love dunking them into a creamy hot chocolate. The perfect way to welcome Autumn into the home.

Tips for making these delicious brownies…
Try using a medium sized brownie tin and grease it up well before adding in the brownie batter.
Top the brownies with the chopped chocolate (optional step) as soon as they are out of the oven so that the chocolate gets a chance to melt into the top of the brownies. You don’t have to top them with extra chocolate if you don’t want to but I think it adds a nice touch.
To keep these brownies soft on the inside you don’t want to over cook them. When they come out of the oven ready they will appear soft. Leave them to cool a little before slicing and removing from the tin.
Keep a close eye on the nuts while they are toasting as they can quickly burn if left in the oven too long. Around 8 minutes is usually perfect so set a timer.
