Chocolate Chip Cookie Brownie Bars | Grain-Free
It is always fun to take recipes I already have in my repertoire and turn them into something even more special, especially during the holidays. I remembered this chocolate chip brownie square that I used to buy at the coffee kiosk when I worked at the hospital. I decided to re-create that recipe, but kick it up a notch by sandwiching homemade maple sweetened marshmallows between the layer of brownie and cookie. It turned out fantastic, looks impressive and it tastes ridiculously decadent.
Who would believe that these bars are Grain/Gluten, Dairy, Soy and Nut Free?
Happy Holidays!
