Today I am serving up these Gluten-Free Fudgy Brownies! You can top these with any chocolate you like – I used M&M’s this time – so that kind of makes them double chocolate right?
If you ever really needed a reason to look forward to the weekend then this is it – Saturday the 7th of July is #WorldChocolateDay – an entire day dedicated to the greatest food ever invented.
Let’s face it; life would be bitter without chocolate. You reach for something chocolatey when you are happy and want to treat yourself, or even if you are feeling sad and looking for a comforting snack. Chocolate is the one thing you can always count on to make you feel better.
If you are looking for an easy, gluten-free chocolatey dessert to make this weekend, then say hello to this recipe to make Gluten-Free, Fudgy Brownies.
