‘These chocolate digestive brownies are a perfect combo of my all time favourites,’ says Bristol baker Alia Faisal.

‘I call them brownies with a twist. The twist comes from adding crushed digestive biscuits right at the end. Follow this simple recipe and bite into perfect brownies with a mellow crunch.’
