Frequently asked questions
Do brownies contain gluten?
Yes. Both current versions use wheat flour, so there is no gluten-free compatible version yet.
Which version should I choose if I avoid egg, lactose or milk protein?
Choose the vegan version. It removes egg and dairy, but check chocolate labels if avoiding milk.
Can I store or reheat brownies?
Store cooled brownies in an airtight container. You can warm a piece gently before serving if you like.
