This raw brownie recipe is one of my most popular recipes at Christmas, probably because it is so easy and turns out so well. Cashews, raisins, coconut, cacao and salt combine in a food processor to create a surprisingly delicious traditional-style brownie. Top with chocolate icing for even more chocolate goodness.
