My grandkids love these type of fruit snacks but I don’t like all the food additives. These snacks are easy to make but they take a while to cook.

Gluten-free Double Chocolate Brownies

My family loves double chocolate brownies on special occasions. My son and granddaughter are required to eat gluten-free. This recipe is so easy. The hard part is making sure you have all the ingredients. You can also add a frosting but my family likes them plain. I usually sprinkle powdered sugar over the top of the brownies before serving. My granddaughter loved the brownies so much she left some for Santa Claus on Christmas Eve!
