Instead of using chocolate loaded with refined sweeteners, this recipe calls for raw cacao powder and dark chocolate chips. While maple syrup gives these brownies a touch of sweetness, it’s the ooey-gooey marshmallows that make each bite extra special (we like the Dandies brand, which do not contain soy, corn syrup, gelatin or artificial flavors or colors). Ready to surprise your loved ones with this better-for-you, gluten-free treat? Let’s get baking!
