About

The hefty addition of nuts, seeds and dried fruits will add some healthy crunch to these simple yet delicious chocolate brownies, and just a few scrumptious bites will provide helpful calories (that get worked off) when you’re hiking or biking. As for me, I enjoy them sitting by a campfire with a cup of coffee.
