National Chocolate Week!
Posted on Wednesday October 15 2014 by RIG Healthcare
Who knew it was National Chocolate Week??
We at RIG Healthcare are partial to a bit of chocolate, in fact judging by the empty tins of Celebrations lying around the office we are very partial to a bit of chocolate!
Alice who works within our physio team is not only an excellent advisor to candidates but an awesome baker! She makes amazing brownies - trust me I've tasted them! So I have asked her to share with you her secret family recipe which is also nut free. Why not have a go at making them yourself, alternatively book a meeting with Alice to 'talk about jobs' whilst insisiting there are brownies available so you can try them out first hand :) alice.james@righealthcare.co.uk
Enjoy!
