Here is the third recipe I mentioned previously. It includes a stand alone recipe for a delicious dark chocolate brownie.

I’m hosting a Christmas party this weekend and wanted to include over-the-top baked goodies on the buffet table.

What better way to do that, then with a 3 layer brownie.

A dark chocolate brownie bottom layer.

A peanut butter crisp nougat in the middle.

A layer of thick dark chocolate on the top.

Want one?

I think you’ll add this recipe to your “make again” list. In fact, I guarantee that no one will know this is a gluten free goodie. That to me is a huge success!

With 3 layers, this can be started in the morning and ready for the evening, but think baking the brownie, then once cooled adding the nougat layer and allowing to freeze overnight would be less stressful.

I hope you give this a try and let me know what you think in the comments below (OR on our community Facebook page!)
