Gluten-Free Brownie Recipe

I think any gluten free brownies should be dense, moist and perfectly balanced between fudge and cake. That's why it is called something different, a brownie. These brownies are just the right balance. They are chewy, gooey and oh so decadent! 
I personally love the added flavor of cool peppermint in the filling and the rich chocolate frosting. It takes the depth of these brownies to an insanely delicious new level!

Notes

These are very easy to make dairy-free by simply using Earth Balance butter sticks in place of butter, dairy-free milk and dairy-free chocolate. 
Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. They are best served nice and cold with a tall glass of milk (or dairy-free milk).
