It is actually kind of a downgrading when calling these Babies just Vegan Raw Espresso Chocolate Brownies. There are more than just brownies they have a fudgy top and that is what makes them special and the perfect Christmas dessert.
The coffee flavor gives this classic chocolate brownie a new twist. I actually don’t really like coffee but the combination with chocolate is so smooth and I really like it.
The brownies are perfect in size, healthy in the fact that they are made of uncooked and unprocessed ingredients and extremely yummi.

Any chocolate bar would do the trick????
could I substitute the square bars for anything else?
You could try macadamia nuts or are you allergic to nuts in general?
Hi! Could you substitute the cashews for something else as I am allergic?
