"With refined coconut oil for richness and stability, plus the toasty, nutty flavor of malted milk powder, these super chewy fudge brownies combine the convenience of a boxed mix with the satisfaction of a totally homemade dessert. These brownies get their deep, complex flavor character a blend of dark chocolate and Dutch cocoa, with a tiny pinch of espresso powder for a hint of bitterness to keep the sweetness in check...."
