Notes
- *You can sub 1/2 cup of Enjoy Life (or another dairy-free brand) dark chocolate morsels for the baker's bar if a dairy-free alternative is needed.
- Keep brownies in airtight container at room temperature up to 5 days fresh. If keeping brownies in fridge, the beet flavor may come through slightly.
