Very good points. I think the word ‘brownie’ kind of made me expect a brownie! LOL. I don’t yet have the twister jar, but it’s on my radar. Great idea to add salt. I will try these again. Mine turned out kind of spongy. Should they be more firm? Thanks for the tips.
I understand your motive. I think the delivery may be the issue.
Let’s drop the negativity (typos, etc), folks, and focus on a really good recipe. Great nutty crunch with a hint of chocolate. No problem at all with the recipe. Thanks, Blendtec!
I made these and was very happy with them. I used hazelnuts instead of almonds and carob instead of cocoa and quinoa flakes in .order to get around food intolerances. So happy to find a recipe with no added sugar. I used the twister jar and it was a bit of a struggle, but eventually got the consistency I wanted and they turned out well. Next time I will add some carob chips and maybe swap out some date for fig or other dried fruits.
Tastes better the second day when flavours have had a chance to blend, Bad name- implies that it is chocolate flavoured.
