About

Mmm… Chocolate and coffee. Two of my favorite things combined into a bite size snack. These two bite brownies are perfect for that midday craving, with the added benefit of an energy boost and extra nutrients, including fibre and protein. Free of flour, dairy, soy, and refined sugars, and instead made with more natural ingredients like black beans and cocoa, so you can feel good about what you’re eating.
