Notes
**Nutritional facts are just estimates. Please utilize your own brand nutritional values to double check against our estimates. Information does not include optional caramel sauce.
* For the dairy free chocolate, you want to find a dairy free or vegan source of chocolate that is between 50-60% cocoa. Chocolates with higher percentage of cocoa, will make these brownies very bitter, so it's important to discuss this change.
- We use 2 bars and chop of the bars until roughly a little larger than chocolate chunks.
-Alternatively, you can just use the same amount of Enjoy life Chocolate Chunks. **If you are having a hard time locating chocolate bars, you can use our homemade dairy free chocolate recipe and spread it out flat on a sheet, harden in freezer and then chop it up into pieces until you have 1 ½ cups for this recipe. Reserve the rest for another recipe.
