Boysenberry Ripple Chocolate Brownies

Who doesn't love chocolate brownies? This recipe rippled with boysenberries and with a fruity sauce makes a delicious treat for dessert. On a cold winter's night it is best served freshly baked and warm.

On the weekend we had a dairy free guest so I adapted this recipe from Barker's by substituting the butter with olivani. It was light light and moist. So useful to have a recipe that everyone can enjoy, and doesn't make dairy free guests excluded

The recipe says serves 12, but 6 hungry people, who like second helpings, can easily demolish it at one sitting.
