These brownies taste like chocolate cake and chocolate fudge rolled into one tasty dessert. Bonus: Vegan Dark Chocolate Brownies are both vegan and are free of the 6 most common food allergies found in baked goods (milk, eggs, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, and soy).
*note: contains coconut (Although coconut is classified as a fruit, the food and drug administration recognizes coconut as a tree nut. Most people who are allergic to tree nuts can safely eat coconut.)
