Description: Natural Brownie mix with chocolate chips.
Sweet Solution for Food Allergies - Fudge Brownie Mix
These Cherrybrook Kitchen, almost everything-free, fudge brownies are a snap to make and bake! Just add margarine, water and oil to the mix and bake for 12-14 minutes. They are tasty, very moist, and not too sweet. Made with rice flour and non-dairy chocolate chips. There is soy, however.
They have a "sweet rewards" program, so save the bottom flap of your mix boxes (3-100) to redeem them for prizes to give one of your favorite little persons you know!

I have seen these packaged mixes in the store but I have not bought them because I want to avoid the soy...I've been a big fan of another brand for a while, but try to keep them out of my pantry (it's too easy to make and eat brownies!)
Cris B. says:
I only bake this kind of stuff for family gatherings and for guest, otherwise I'd be tempted to eat at least one a day! Tragic to eat them all in one binging frenzy!
Jenn A. says:
LOL - I don't think I've ever done it in one sitting but I always feel guilty if I make a pan of brownies and eat one for breakfast, one for lunch and one for dinner... for five days. *burp*

Don't eat anything with margarine.....It's TOXIC to the body!
Look up "hydrogenated oil" on the web and see what you find. No healthy food product contains margarine.

Hi Karin - I just looked at the ingredients for this product and it doesn't seem to have any hydrogenated anything in it -- there are plenty of non-hydrogenated margarines out there (sadly, none that are soy AND dairy free).
Karin L. says:
I just wanted to remind folks that hydrogenated products/ingredients such margarines have had alot of research done on them and have been proven to be unhealthy. Better to avoid them and eat whole, unprocessed fruits, veggies, nuts and seeds.
A lifetime of brownie eating (and the accompanying SAD [standard American diet]) can lead to type II diabetes and other health problems. Just ask my mom.
ok..off my soapbox!
have a wonderful day!

...or my dad! A small batch of brownies from an organic mix designed to be a treat for folks with specific food allergies and intolerances is a much more discrete quantity than a 5# bag of Doritos or 24-pack of muffins from Costco.
I agree with Cris B -- moderation is key and I only make these kinds of things when I have a group gathering to share them (unlike aforementioned consumers of over-sized snack products). Audience is key - I don't think anyone here would recommend living off brownies.
Also, context is important here -- this product is targeted at folks who have a particular allergy -- the target audience for this product is a much lower risk for Type 2 diabetes -- my goodness -- ever see a celiac who was overweight?
