for my healthy friend in the midwest and my diabetic friend.
sooo yummy.
PROMISE.
my friends very picky kids ate them up.
then his dad told him they had vegis in them- he started gagging. HA!

raw brownies...scared? just try the icing- very yummy

Get out your food processor, and toss in:
1 cup walnuts
1 cup dates
1/3 cup cocoa powder
Grind these ingredients until they resemble potting soil, then pat firmly into an 8x8pan.

Next, use your blender or hand-mixer to blend the icing:
2 avocados
1/2 cup agave nectar
1/4 cup cocoa powder (see Special Note above)
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
dash salt
dash cinnamon

This icing is to die for!! Don't tell anyone that you're using avocados to make chocolate icing, they might just gag. But, one taste and you will never look at an avocado the same again. In fact, this icing recipe makes much more than you really need; consider it a bit 'o love from me to you.

Ice your brownies, lick the spoon, and place in the freezer to set (1 hour). Since this is, essentially, a bunch of healthy fruit and nuts, feel free to nibble on a brownie on your way into work in the morning---and let me know how they turned out! Makes 12.

eric- your on one of these weird phases again aren't you? be sure to stock the fridge with frozen pizzas.
