Gluten-Free Hot Cocoa Brownies

Updated: May 5, 2018

Bundle up!

It has been SO very cold here in New York. We have been consuming copious amounts of hot cocoa in our home. I had an idea: why not make hot cocoa into something you can bite? My son was hovering in the kitchen the whole time they were baking, so I put him to good use in these photos.

I hope you enjoy these chewy, chocolatey and gooey brownies!
