Notes
* — Ground flaxseed is full of great health benefits and does well as a flour replacement in this recipe. One of our favorite brands can be found here.** — The key to this recipe is premium baking ingredients. We highly recommend Ghirardelli's unsweetened 100% pure cocoa powder.*** — This recipe contains Tom & Jenny's chocolate caramels, which really add to the rich flavor. However, for those who are diabetic or otherwise watching their intake of ingredients that are higher on the glycemic index, please note that Tom & Jenny's caramels do contain maltitol. You can substitute a different sugar-free caramel brand if you prefer.
