No-Bake Brownie Pops/Bites
Brownies! Brownies! Brownies! Common’ chant with me… I can’t even contain my excitement about these little gems! For one, they are SUPER simple to make, two- you don’t have to bake them, three- they are naturally sweetened and taste just like brownies (even my brownie lovin’ dad says so!), and four- your kiddos will love them! I mean, I could go on with more reasons- they’re adorable, fun, colorful, did I mention easy to make 😉 They are perfect for Valentine’s Day and make for one dynamite snack! So you might be wondering what’s in these tasty little morsels? You wouldn’t believe me if I told you… but don’t fret, I’m gonna tell you exactly how to make these. But first, a little brownie pop checklist:
Naturally sweetened: you bet!
Gluten-free: as always!
Vegan: why of course!
Less than 15 minutes to make: booya!
Delicious: oh heck ya!
Nourishing even?: Surprise!
Now you don’t have to make them into pops… I just did that because I thought it would be super fun! It’s really simple to make them into pops, but they also make delicious little brownie bites!
