The Great Brownie Flavour Debate
Ask ten brownie enthusiasts to rank their favourite flavours and you'll get ten different answers. The brownie world has expanded dramatically from its classic chocolate origins — today's artisan brownie ranges include Lotus Biscoff, Oreo, salted caramel, peanut butter, and beyond. At Bournemouth Brownie Company, we've tested, refined, and obsessed over every flavour in our range, and in this article we're sharing our honest take on the ranking.
(Note: this is our ranking. Your mileage, and your taste buds, may vary.)
The Rankings
1. Salted Caramel — The Crowd Pleaser
If there's a universal language in the world of brownies, it's salted caramel. The combination of deep chocolate richness, buttery caramel sweetness, and a hit of salt that cuts through everything — it's deeply satisfying in a way that's hard to explain scientifically but everyone instinctively understands. In our experience, salted caramel brownies tend to be the first to go at any event, office, or family gathering.
What makes ours special: the caramel is made in-house, not from a jar. It's incorporated into the batter and layered on top, creating ripples of caramel throughout every piece.
2. Biscoff — The Modern Classic
Lotus Biscoff has, in the past decade, gone from aeroplane biscuit to a globally beloved spread. The combination of caramelised biscuit flavour with our rich Callebaut Belgian chocolate base is frankly addictive. Crushed Lotus biscuit on top adds texture. This is consistently one of our bestsellers and one we're particularly proud of.
3. Triple Chocolate — The Purist's Choice
For anyone who believes that chocolate needs no accompaniment, the triple chocolate brownie is the answer. Three types of chocolate — dark, milk, and white — layered into one intense, deeply satisfying brownie. If you're trying Bournemouth Brownie Company for the first time, start here.
4. Oreo — The Fun One
Crushed Oreos, white chocolate drizzle, and a rich chocolate base. The Oreo brownie is unabashedly playful — it's the brownie you'd bring to a children's birthday party that adults would also eat three of without apology. The crunch of the Oreos against the fudgy base is a textural delight.
5. Peanut Butter — The Divisive Genius
We're firm believers that peanut butter and chocolate is one of the great flavour pairings. The saltiness of good peanut butter cuts through the sweetness of the brownie perfectly. Some people don't love peanut butter and we respect that — but for those who do, this is top-tier.
6. White Chocolate and Raspberry — The Sophisticated Choice
White chocolate and raspberry is a classic pairing for good reason. The tartness of raspberry offsets the sweetness of white chocolate, and both sit beautifully against our chocolate brownie base. This one tends to be popular with people who want something slightly lighter in character.
How to Choose
The honest answer is: try several. Our build your own box option lets you mix and match from our current range, which means you can run your own personal ranking. We recommend it highly.
If you're buying for someone else and aren't sure about their preferences, the salted caramel or Biscoff is almost always a safe and genuinely excellent choice.
