Baileys Brownies – the irresistible treat everyone will love.

Christmas was always my favourite time of year. The tree was always decorated with pretty ornaments, the house was filled with the smells of baking and Christmas music was playing in every hallway. A familiar face was usually waiting for me at the door when I got home from school, and that was my auntie. Auntie was always so excited to give me my Christmas present, which usually consisted of a bag of Baileys Brownies. I loved those brownies! They were my favourite thing to eat on Christmas day, and even more so now that I’m all grown up.

Christmas is a time to be with family and enjoy each other’s company. Even though I live far away now, my aunt and I still phone, email and Facebook each other regularly, and we always make sure to get together for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. I love the feeling of being surrounded by loved ones, and Baileys Brownies are always a part of that celebratory feeling. Even though my aunt and I don’t live in the same city anymore, we always manage to get Baileys Brownies delivered to each other, which is slightly strange but nevertheless a much loved tradition!
