I was making brownies the other day and I got halfway through the recipe before realising I had no cacao powder. I did, however, have cacao nibs, so I made a few hasty adjustments and came out with Accidental Blondies – brownies that aren’t brown, but in this case have chocolate flavour from the nibs and dark choc chips.
Sometimes I wish I had more of a sweet tooth. I realise that’s a strange thing to say. You see, I’m the savoury person who smugly says no thanks to chocolate, only to savage an entire family-size bag of chips the second no one is looking. The fact is, it’s easier to turn sweet recipes into healthy versions.
