Mango Plantain Chocolate Brownie

Crafted as food, our unique flavor combinations make delectable ingredients to enhance your own culinary creations. Take our Mango Plantain Bar, with its crunchy chewy bits of tropical fruits smothered in high cacao (47%) Peruvian milk chocolate. To celebrate its distinctive flavors, we partnered with artist, chef, and cookbook author Loria Stern—we can almost guarantee you’ve seen her edible flower cookies and on social media—to create next level brownies. In this recipe, Loria takes on the classic ooey-gooey brownie, incorporating our Mango Plantain Bar and adding her creative flair with her signature pressed flowers.
