Brownies free of dairy, eggs, nuts, but not taste

For my entire life, dairy and I have had a love/hate relationship. Currently we're in hate mode. Well, at least my stomach is. And the same goes for a couple of my kids. But I'm also a bit of a sweets addict, which makes binges a little challenging. Fortunately, that's all changed since I found my new favorite go-to dessert.


I just happened to pick up a box of Cherrybrook Kitchen fudge brownie mix from my local grocery store on whim and boy am I glad I did -- though my post-partum diet plan may feel differently. Just add water, oil, margarine (or similar) to their natural mix which includes dairy-free chocolate chips and real Belgian chocolate. In about 15 minutes you've got truly good brownies -- a nice change from the sugary dirt many of these "free" mixes end up tasting like.

Now don't get me wrong--of you're looking for super decadent gooey brownies, this isn't it. But if you want to enjoy something sweet and delicious without the lactose-induced stomachache later, then Cherrybrook Kitchen is definitely the way to go. And you know? My brownie-loving, dairy eating husband agrees. -Kristen

You can purchase a case of the Cherrybrook Kitchen fudge brownie mix from our affiliate Amazon.com, or check your local grocery store. That's where I found them.
