Free the Brownies

We have to admit it - one of the treats we really really missed in our pre-LIVA days was a wonderfully dark and indulgent brownie. Now, we’ve got a recipe that will again fill the kitchen with that memorable chocolately aroma and put a guilt-free snack in the hands of those you love. We have freed the brownie so it can once again roam free in your basket of treats.
