What a great idea! My 2 1/2 year old is always asking for chocolate but I try to avoid it as much as possible. My plan was to make a batch, and assuming they were edible, freeze the majority for an occasional treat for my daughter. Well...these little babies disappeared over the course of a few days, not just by my daughter, but by myself and husband, too! I did use apple juice as another reviewer had tried (thanks, Jewels) and it worked fine. The only thing that was different from regular brownies was the texture, which was a bit "rubbery", but the taste was great! I'm really happy to have found these little gems. I'll try carrot juice next time just for the added nutrients. Thanks for sharing this great recipe!

I made these after seeing them in Parents magazine as well. A very sneaky way to get the veggies in - my kids had no idea. I didn't have carrot juice so I subbed apple and it turned out OK. I would like to keep fiddling with this and see what other healthy additions could be made. (Insert evil, but well intentioned, mother laugh...)

I'm married with 2 young children. Like lots of other folks, after getting married, I finally started learning how to cook when we got tired of take-out food. Watching Foodnetwork taught me lots of skills as well as inspired me to try. I haven't followed the shows much nowadays, but years ago my favorite chefs on FoodNetwork were Giada DeLaurentis, Ina Garten, Bobby Flay, Alton Brown, and Paula Deen. I also watched 30 minute meals with Rachel Ray but never could make my meals in 30 minutes with her recipes! ;0)
My pet peeves are when people refuse to try something different, or after they've had one bad experience with a certain ingredient or food then they will never want to taste anything related or with it.
