Fudgey Chocolate Peppermint Brownies

Fudgey Chocolate Peppermint Brownies

One of my all time favorite (if not my favorite) holiday desserts is peppermint brownies! My grandmother would make the most incredible bars in both mint and peppermint every Christmas! This year I created a very simple and healthy version that is low in sugar, grain free and just as delicious! I hope you enjoy!
