My friend made these brownies the other day for a coaches meeting at crossfit. They were gone in about 2 minutes and they were unbelievable. I talked about them for days to my husband until he finally requested that I make him some. We competed in a crossfit competition yesterday, so as a treat after the event I made them. I even shared a couple with my neighbor,paleolithicMD, and he agreed that they are one of the best things he has ever eaten. They come from the Make it Paleo cookbook.
