    These are delicious! I had an Aldi Live G Free chocolate baking mix, so I used that. It worked great! How many ounces are in your condensed coconut milk?

      I hope she likes these Brandy. Please let her know she can drop me a line if she has any questions. Figuring out the next steps after being diagnosed can be pretty confusing. Take care, Sandi

    These look awesome! As someone who is trying to cut carbs & gluten this makes me feel like I can do that and still have great desserts.

    I love the sound of that coconut condensed milk. I will have to keep an eye out for it. Love the sound of those mixes as well. Pity we can’t get them here 🙁
