The winning brownie stood out amongst more than 130 products at the awards which aims to discover the best sweet creations from bakeries across the UK. 

It received top marks from the judges for its flavours and textures, as one critic said: “The roasted nuts really cut through the richness, having that crunchy nut on the top really balanced it out.”
