If you like decadent treats you will like this. Brownies are delicious super sweet and indulgent, but not every one likes super sweet. When I have kids over not all of them like brownies, yet some can never get enough. My son prefers a moist chocolate cake to any type of brownie.

I’ve seen any substitutes to white sugar in brownie recipes online. Some are date powder, erythritol, raw cane sugar, brown sugar, honey.

Similarly you can substitute butter with plain vegetable oil. There are vegan options that are egg less. But I’ve used a basic recipe I found on All recipes.

I didn’t make I frosting I simply spread, Dark Chocolate Peanut Spread from Chocboy over the brownies and they were super yummy.
