During this years Super Bowl halftime show I whipped out these healthy, raw brownies and they were a huge success- so, I hope you’ll love them too!

These brownies are super easy to make, and you can basically replace any type of nut (same measurement) for those this recipe calls for. Additionally there isn’t any processed chocolate in the brownies, just raw and organic cacao powder- so you’re sure to get all of the heart-healthy flavonoids found in that raw and unprocessed chocolate. Enjoy them!

• Total time: 60 minutes
