Close your eyes and picture this: a warm, ooey gooey tray of brownies emerge from the oven. A rich chocolatey scent fills the air. Crispy edges and a soft center. Is there anything better?

Our brilliant baking friend and Holistic Health Coach Sloane Elizabeth was onto something when she developed these grain-free Paleo Fudge Brownies featuring our dark chocolate. Packed with goodness, they’re the perfect dessert or midday treat. Not only are they nutrient-packed, decadent and delicious, the added Calm Cacao Superblend also packs in adaptogenic ingredients that help power us through the day and sleep deeper at night. Now that's a treat.
