With the powers of Slimming World evident across the UK, it is difficult not to find someone who has done it or is currently doing it.

So here at Hogarth’s, we have decided to combine our two favourite ingredients – Gin and Chocolate to bring you a ginspirational Slimming World recipe for the tastiest brownies you’ll find.

Featuring ELY Dark Chocolate Gin, these gorgeous and delicious treats come in at 3 syns per brownie so there’s no need to feel guilty after snacking on these gintastic chocolatey pieces of goodness.

Often enjoyed neat, ELY Dark Chocolate Gin is an experience for all. This dry gin is unsweetened but provides a beautiful cocoa bitterness that would tantalise the taste buds of any chocolate lover. Founded in March 2012, ELY Gin was the mastermind of the computer programmer, James Clark, who had a passion of creating gin. Since then the company has boomed and ELY is now in its 6th year in trading. Some of their fantastic gin range includes Dark Chocolate, Chocolate Orange, Breakfast Marmalade and even Afternoon Tea. So no matter what your taste bud fancies, ELY gin has something for you.
