I recently got a copy of Belinda Jeffery's Mix & Bake cookbook from my local library. It is full of delicious-looking goodies and at the turn of every page, you have to stop yourself from rushing to the kitchen to churn out something from your oven. The recipes are delightfully simple in this book and there are quite a few nice ones for brownies, another one of my favorite indulgences.

I settled on Belinda's One-pan Macadamia And Chocolate Chip Brownies, tweaked the recipe to suit my hankerings and in the process ended up utilizing that forgotten bag of macadamias at the very back of my pantry. This brownie is dense and fudgy, the extra chocolate adds a nice wicked twist. I even increased the amount of nuts, so it has a beautiful texture, the cracks and flakes on top only adding to its beauty.
