The recipe was selected as a finalist in the Veggie Patch UnderCover Moms Contest.

These brownies are our favorites. It is a delicious recipe that hides spinach. Trust me; my kiddos don’t even know it’s there. The spinach adds moisture and vitamins to the finished product, delicious, moist brownies.
