It’s okay, Lord Fussbudget Highnmightypants, I’ve obtained you lined too. Allow me to present, to your most great viewing pleasure, a dessert on the opposite end of the flowery spectrum: Tuxedo Brownies.

The brownies start with an ultra-fudgy base filled with white and darkish chocolate chunks.

Take a ball of fondant and roll it out until it’s about 1/8” thick. Decrease it proper right into a small rectangle (mine had been about 1 3/4” x 3/4”) and a small strip. Pinch the rectangle collectively inside the middle, then wrap the strip spherical it and pinch it collectively inside the once more. Make any modifications you may wish to, like pinching the bow tie’s corners, until it’s a type you need. Voila!
These are outrageously rich, large substantial and satisfying, and so stunning! Serve them in small slivers as part of a dessert tray, or plate them with an enormous scoop of ice cream for the best finish to a selected meal.
