Product: Hodgson Mill Gluten-Free Brownie Mix – $3.99+
WINNING!
Let’s start with that because it was how this chocolate treasure came into my life. I had joined an online community doing some giveaways during Celiac Awareness Month and won a couple of giveaways. One I knew about. This one, however, arrived as a complete surprise. But, when given gluten-free chocolate…a lady never turns up her nose.
I’ll be honest. I was a bit reluctant to cook the Hodgson Mill gluten-free brownies up. I was so enamored with the Betty Crocker mix, I didn’t think anything could top it. But I was craving chocolate one day…and this was my next gluten-free treat in the pantry to cook up. And so…that’s what I did.
So easy to make. Very few ingredients. Pop it in the oven, and soon my entire apartment smelled of delicious brownie goodness. If these tasted anywhere near as good as they smelled, it would probably be difficult to keep to just one at a time.
Out of the oven to rest and cool. The brownies cooked up amazing. I mean, with a soft crust on the top and everything. The PERFECT brownie just from the looks of it. Once it cooled down enough for me to slice into it without making a mess…I plated up. Because in my world, chocolate is priority.
Fudgy. Creamy. Amazing. These blew the Betty Crocker ones away. Honestly, one of the best brownies I have ever tasted. So very moist and soft. And they kept that way as my roommate and I worked our way through it for eight days. Nothing went stale. Nothing got hard. They stayed moist and delicious. No heating up in the microwave necessary. Fall off your fork fantastic. These gluten-free chocolate morals of goodness are, bite-for-bite, loaded with chewy, chocolate flavor.
I will never doubt the wonders of Hodgson Mill products ever again. This is the second one I’ve tried. But this one…by far…has been my ultimate favorite. Chocolate done right in all it’s gluten-free brownie glory. It’s hard to stick to a serving. And…I discovered these are delicious on their own. No need to dress it up with Chocolate Cool Whip or drizzle it with melted dark chocolate. Although…we all indulge a little more every now and again. But…it wasn’t necessary and that was the best part. These brownies are so amazing they can stand on their own. Why dress up perfection?
Hodgson Mill won me over again. Gluten-free never tasted so sweet (or chocolatey).
