Episode 3: Brownies & Red Wine

Fudgy, rich & thick — just like I like ‘em. 😏
These brownies prove that simplicity really is genius.

Baked After Dark – Episode 3: Brownies & Red Wine 🍷🍫

Sometimes, the most brilliant ideas are the simplest ones. In this episode, Bri takes you back to the basics with the only brownie recipe you’ll ever need—rich, fudgy, and dangerously easy to make. She shares how this humble pan of chocolate goodness helped launch her all the way to international television, and how she’s learned that less really can be more.

She’s also opening up about a big shift—parting ways with her producer—and what it means for Baked After Dark. It’s a mix of nostalgia, resilience, and chocolate-fueled honesty you won’t want to miss.
