    I don't have a sweet tooth and wouldn't be the most familiar with brownies. However, Mrs Peanut is making batches of them for a kiddies party.

    Major sugar rush. How have I missed these sugary monsters all my life?

    You were probably too busy fraternizing with The Butter. :)

    No word of a lie, you can make brownies with sweet potatoes, really nice as mad as that sounds.

    You can also make them using black beans. I've done it and they are very good.

    I thought that too but all I saw was mainly butter and chocolate with some sugar.

    Bad either way.

    Hmm, black beans and sweet potatoes. Surely that's veering far too much in a healthy direction?

    I thought this was going to be about small versions of Girl Guides. I should have scouted it a bit better.

    I could never eat 7 brownies. That much sugar and it wouldn't be long before I would be asleep. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

    What's wrong with butter and chocolate and sugar? Do you make your food out of cement and diesel or something?

    Well, a full pound of butter in a tray of brownies is not something I would want kids to have every day.

    Maybe my definition of bad is different to other people.

    Perhaps I should have said " not the healthiest" instead of "bad".

    Recipe, please? I ****ing love sweet potatoes! :D

    Also, a little trick I did the last time I made brownies: mix all the ingredients in a food processor and before you chuck the mix into the oven, blitz in a pulnet of raspberries. It gives the finished brownies a lovely aftertaste and works particularly well if you make them using dark chocolate like Bournville or Green & Blacks.
    Feck, now I want to make some brownies!:D

    Ben and Jerry's Chocolate fudge brownie flavour ice cream.
    I'd get up in the middle of the night to eat it.
