Chocolate Brownies with the hidden orange smell are gone.....not the same anymore. I HATE this new version, especially the meaningless middle rectangular cookie, and it used to be my favourite Browny ever since I'd arrived in Manchester. It was one of the reasons why I became a regular customer of Central Library Cafe with these every single delicious bite of golden piece of my lunch and my breakfast and even my leisure snack, but not anymore, sadly. I have now turned to Greggs even though they are not as good as Library café. Please I beg.....bring back my favourite piece of meal orange chocolate Brownies 🍫.
