I intensely regret making these delicious, decadent raw brownie bites – they were so fudgey and fabulous that I’ve had to hide some in the freezer so Kam and I don’t eat them all at once!

All week I’ve been awaiting this moment.  While playing with a jar of flour and water was fun and games, after seven days of feedings, stirrings, sour smells, bubbles and a batch of waffles I’m ready to bake up some bread. Even if it takes me all day to do it! Jokes aside, this recipe fits into my preferred method …
