Wonderful Chewy Kiss-Filled Brownies

These were amazing. I got the recipe from the back of the Hershey’s Mini Kisses package, changed it to whole wheat flour, and bumped up the salt some. I took them to a church potluck, and a friend tasted them and requested them for the upcoming youth convention trip. They were a huge hit.

Notes

Don’t cut into these warm. The chocolate inside of them will still be melted, and they will have no integrity (voice of experience here).

Low in sodium, no trans fats.
