I have such a sweet tooth and these always hit the spot. I love that they are gluten and dairy free but also includes an alternative sugar (coconut sugar) to sweeten. It makes all the difference. I love chunky brownies so the coconut flakes and walnuts are great additions. Remove them for simple and indulgent fudge brownies that are just as yummy.\
