Notting Hill Brownies

February 12, 2016 Leave a Comment

Notting Hill (film) – 

Anna Scott: Wait, what about me?
Max: Sorry, you think *you* deserve the brownie?
Anna Scott: Well a shot at it at least huh?
William: Well, you’ll have to fight me for it, this is a very good brownie.

Valentines Day is a few short days away, and I cant think of a more perfect excuse to make a batch of brownies and watch one of my favorite Romantic Comedies of all time – Notting Hill 

Hugh Grant plays the  adorable and charmingly british, travel book shop owner and Julia Roberts is gorgeous and sweet as the America Actress who falls for the ‘normal bloke’. It has all my favoite RomCom qualaties – fairytale love story, British accents, and brownies.

Not just any brownie. This brownie is so good the last one must be earned, faught for by only those willing to compete for the title of “saddest act”.

Rich, dense, fudge-y brownies with a slightly crunchy top. Made with the finest quality cocoa powder and chocolate chips. Now I’m not saying you have to have the saddest act to win the last brownie, but this brownie is so amazing its totally worth fighting for.

  • Bake the brownies for about 30 minutes, until a cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean, or with just a few moist crumbs clinging to it. The brownies should feel set on the edges, and the center should look very moist, but not uncooked. Remove them from the oven and cool on a rack before cutting and serving.
