Question:
Hello Rabbi,
If one eats a nonbread meal and then has brownies or cookies for dessert (even a significant amount), is washing required? (If it matters these are actually brownie brittle pieces so they are more like chocolate crackers)
Answer:
The best thing to do in this situatoin is to make a bpoei nifashos before eating the dessert. This way the cake is not considered part of the meal.
Best wishes
