Because a little bit of chocolate is never enough, these brownies sport three different kinds. Divine Chocolate Cocoa Powder is just the start before you run into the power of chocolate protein powder. But what will linger on your tongue is the sweet sensation of chocolate-covered cherries. Their ever-so-faint tartness is a delightful contrast in this rich confection. That’s not even the best part. The chewy texture you expect in a brownie comes from an unexpected, vitamin-rich ingredient.
