~Emily's Notes:
.:Would a home-made brown sugar work as good and be healthier? Make it from molasses and ___? (There's no way I know of to get around the syrup!!) ;)
.:Original recipe does not call for wheat flour, but it tastes the same and adds more sustainance to the treat! It also does not call for the protein powder, but again, sneaking it in there is never a bad thing!
.:I sneaked another yummy, healthy thing in there... natural peanut butter! Wa-la... even healthier peanut butter brownies. Sooo gooood!
.:These were really easy for being home-made. I topped them with a caramel drizzle for embellishment, which made it pretty fun. They were a nice density, moist, and tasty. Keeper!
I got the recipe from Hershey's 1934 Cookbook. Enjoy the treat!
Love,
Emily
