Most chocolate you can buy in US stores has at least trace amounts of dairy- so, as one of the commenters said, if I were making a treat for someone who was allergic to dairy, I probably wouldn't make these. But when a nursing mom has to go dairy free because her baby has issues with dairy in her diet, it isn't an allergy- it is a sensitivity. In that case, I doubt the trace amounts of dairy in these brownies would matter.<br /><br />Of course, some babies react poorly to chocolate in their mother's diet- I am very thankful that this wasn't a problem for us!Cloudhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09317847285050447789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29235839.post-2153920276010871252010-05-10T00:28:43.643-07:002010-05-10T00:28:43.643-07:00The trade aid cocoa is completely dairy free.

We use it with our friend's boy and he is severly allergic to dairy.<br /><br />The prob with a lot of cocoa is that it's also processed on equipment which was used to process dairy - which is how it gets the milk traces.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29235839.post-38629876479613099972008-09-02T17:24:00.000-07:002008-09-02T17:24:00.000-07:00just so you know cocoa butter is not a milk produc...just so you know cocoa butter is not a milk product. <BR/>Cocoa butter, also called theobroma oil, is the pale-yellow, pure edible vegetable fat of the cacao bean. It is the substance used to make solid chocolate bars. It is mixed with varying amounts of cocoa powder to produce solid pieces of chocolate. Cocoa butter is extracted from the cacao beans and can be used to make chocolate, pharmaceuticals, ointments, and toiletries.[1] Cocoa butter has a mild chocolate flavor and aroma.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29235839.post-9658108374107005272008-05-27T19:26:00.000-07:002008-05-27T19:26:00.000-07:00They sound delicious!

Unfortunately, cocoa powder contains milk products (residual cocoa butter, etc), so your recipe isn't really "dairy-free" so long as cocoa powder is involved. My sister is allergic to all dairy products, and became sick after eating several "dairy-free" recipes that included cocoa powder. If anyone knows of any cocoa powder that has zero dairy products whatsoever, please let me know. Her allergist insists, however, that no such products exist. <BR/><BR/>Anyway, bottom line, these brownies sound delicious and should sit well with vegans and dairy-loving carnivores like me. I would not recommend them to those with allergies, however.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29235839.post-22341896056560709602007-12-19T18:27:00.000-08:002007-12-19T18:27:00.000-08:00Um, if you're cooking, I'm pretty sure you can do ...Um, if you're cooking, I'm pretty sure you can do whatever you please and everyone else can suck it up. ;)cinnamon gurlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05363288586285868779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29235839.post-16656213570438568752007-12-19T14:29:00.000-08:002007-12-19T14:29:00.000-08:00Alisa, your brownies look yummy.

I have been trialing the vegan diet lately and am having trouble cutting the eggs from my favorite brownie recipe - http://www.godairyfree.org/Recipes/Dairy-Free-Desserts/Coconut-Brownies-Gluten-Free.html. This one is easily dairy-free, I have been making it for many years with many smiles in return! <BR/><BR/>Good luck, I hope the diet helps your little one!Alisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01227274814082080028noreply@blogger.com
