Moxie’s Caramel Brownie Waffle Recipe from The Boy Who Steals Houses (Ft. Giveaway of A Literary Tea Party Cookbook!!)

If you’ve read The Boy Who Steals Houses…chances are it made you very very hungry.

Look, my books exist to make you cry and make you fiercely crave whatever food my characters are obsessing over. And if I feature a food in my books, there’s a 90% chance it’s because I, personally, was eating it a lot while writing. (I’m really that imaginative. I KNOW.)

In The Boy Who Steals Houses (which has been out 4 months now!) there are whole scenes dedicated to the devouring of caramel brownies and/or waffles, as is the De Lainey special. We are not sure if Sam was in love with the De Laineys or the habit of feeding him. Understandable. 😌He is precious.

So I was so so stoked when my friend Alison Walsh (author of A Literary Tea Party cookbook!) agreed to invent a recipe based off The Boy Who Steals Houses!

And today I get to share it with you. I am just !!!! 😍 THIS excited. 😍

I’m also going to be giving away a copy of her cookbook so 👀 keep reading.

Last year she also created a recipe for A Thousand Perfect Notes, featuring August’s almond fruitcake (which my family still gushes over with enamoured delight because it’s just that good). So Alison is a gift to my life and I cannot be more grateful. I hope you’ll go follow her blog and see all the incredible bookish recipes she shares!

Thank you so so so much Alison!! ✨😘
