I have to admit, I am not much of a dessert person. Every once in a while I like something sweet but usually prefer eating something salty. That was until recently when I received a sample of brownies and brownie “shots” from Sweets for the Soul, a LA based bakery. The name says it all. The chocolate deliciousness of every bite keeps you wanting to go back for more. Unfortunately, my chocolate loving daughter couldn’t try because of her nut allergy, but that meant more for me. I brought a variety to a dinner one night and they were gone in seconds. I made sure to set two aside, as I knew they would be gone. I was very upset when my husband snuck the last one.
The presentation, from each individual brownie to the packaging was beautiful. Receiving them makes you feel good and will satisfy your sweet tooth. Sweets for the Soul are the perfect gift to let someone know you are thinking about them. Give as a get-well present, a gift to a new mom, a friend, a co-worker, a teacher or to your significant other. Serve Sweets for the Soul at a bridal shower, baby shower, dinner party or holiday party.

Sweets for the Soul brownies are hand-made by founder, Lilly LaBonge, with a Valrhona chocolate, farmer’s market eggs, organic flour, organic spices and the purest of other ingredients. They are sold as a dozen, half-dozen or individually. Flavors we tried:
- Salted Caramel Brownie Shot: My favorite, made of cocoa base w / fleur de sel laced caramel. The perfect combination of sweet and salty, I could eat an entire box.
- Hotter Shots: Made of cayenne, cardamom, cinnamon, ginger and more. If you like spicy, you will love this brownie shot. It was a popular one among our friends.
- Pure Chocolate Shot: Simple, but DELICIOUS! These shots are made of cocoa and almond flour base.
- Peanut Butter Shots: Because of my daughters allergy, we snuck these in after bed time. This brownie is made with organic peanut butter, topped with organic peanut brittle. AMAZING!
- The Obama: No matter what your political views are, this heart-shaped brownie is one you will definitely love. Made with a cocoa base filled with dark and white chocolate chips. A must!
- Vegan: Tastes like a regular brownie. YUM! Made with organic flour, organic oil, vegan sugar, Valrhona cocoa and Valrhona dark chocolate chips.
