Notes

Culinarian Tips, Tricks, and Suggestions:  These brownies can be portioned, wrapped with cling wrap, and frozen to be enjoyed later. 
We like to cut these into 32 pieces for an approximate 100-calorie treat. 
These brownies make an incredible brownie sundae.  Warm the brownie for 20 seconds in the microwave and top with our Stratacccacotta Ice cream and homemade hot fudge.
