Christmas is approaching, and desserts, chocolate, and cocoa are flowing like water. We’re here to “help” by adding fuel to the fire: marbled brownies are a great recipe to bring to pre-Christmas dinners if you’re tired of the usual panetùn or pandoro! The recipe serves 8–12 people and is very easy to follow.

By the way, did you know that drinking a glass of water in the morning is really good for you? Anyway, without wasting any more time, put on your aprons and preheat your ovens—let’s get started!
