Baker’s brew has ventured into the blackout brownie trend! Featured here are the speculoos blackout brownie (top pic) and the peanut butter brownie (bottom pic). I was quite apprehensive about the peanut butter BB - generally, PB is heavy in flavour and masks out pretty much the ‘base’. Thankfully, it wasn’t what I expected to be (the insides weren’t filled with PB). The only PB on the brownie that you’ll taste is what you see not the brownie itself. Hence, PB-brownie ratio wise, it’s perhaps 1:9. The dense, BB was rich and some might find it too cloying. Flavour profile is intense and heavy, especially with the PB. Only for peanut butter lovers!

The speculoos BB on the other hand, was filled with speculoos on the inside. Speculoos-bronie ratio is easily 4:6. The sweetness and crunchiness of the speculoos provided an added layer of texture and mouthful to the otherwise dense, chewy brownie. Anything speculoos is great isn’t it? The BB was dense and cocoa-rich. There wasn’t any intense, strong bitter taste that I feared (phew) but there wasnt any particularly ‘wow’ factor to the texture nor flavour. In fact, it could be a tad too cloying and dense for some. They’re pretty expensive for a brownie! $24.80 for a box of 4 and certainly more ex if you’re getting it by the piece!)
