    Fantastic. Even my 5 yo loved it. Takes a couple of bites to get used to, but at the end I loved it.

      The sugar substitute was overpowering. Next time less! I liked the warm chocolate!

        I don't understand I must be missing something. There's no mention of Cocoa powder in this recipe, but the instructions specify to use it.

        I add an ounce or two of hot espresso (right from the machine) into the mug I make mine in. The brownie absorbs the espresso like a sponge, so any dryness is eliminated and the flavor is that much better

        Yum! I added Lilys milk chocolate style chips and really enjoyed this.

          I thought this was delicious! I added 8 Lillys chips and cut back on swerve ultimate granular sweeteners . Also , added dollop of Redi- whip on top. I didn’t get the grainy texture like some of you were experiencing, I will be having this again sometime.

            I remade this tonight and used the Hersheys Special Dark coca , it was better than the unsweetened milk chocolate.

            Very good! I made it one time with regular cocoa and it was really good, but the Special Dark Hershey’s makes it even better.

                Added 1/4 tsp if instant coffee and made the chocolate richer.

                    Can this be baked in a toaster oven or regular oven ? If so, at what Time and Temperature ? We don't own a microwave for health reasons

                        Very easy and certainly satisfies the desire for something sweet,

                          Can you use oven or air fryer instead?

                            I would use the air fryer. Preheat it first and then cook for maybe 3 minutes on 400. Check at 2 minutes maybe? Just my two cents… keep us posted.

                          Made this last night! Not bad although next time I will make with 1 tablespoon of the swerve sweetener. .

                            I made it with the 1 Tbsp as you suggested and it was perfect!

                            Update! Made with 1Tbsp of swerve and much better. 👍🏻

                          This is tasty but DO NOT put the replacement sugar in it! Swerve is actually 8g carbs per tablespoon!

                            A carb is a carb. My doc & dietician count TOTAL not net carbs. The body uses the carb regardless our label.
