We also came across something amazing- gluten free brownies that taste better than most brownies we've ever tasted! Rich Brownies & Betsy's Bitties claim to have the "best brownies you've ever tasted" and boy are they right! They make everything from scratch, using all natural ingredients. They also have some other incredible creations, such as the salted caramel (AKA moaning brownie) or the chai moca brownie. Portion size, people! They are too good to pass up and just a taste does the trick.
For the best gluten free dessert you've ever had, check them out at www.richbrownies.com
By the way, we will be frequenting the Chappaqua Farmer's Market a lot this fall and will be sure to let you know when. We are always making something delicious and secretly nutritious. Come by, we'd love to chat!
Stay tuned for some awesome back to school lunch box tips coming next...
