Description

These rich, fudgy brownies get a distinct Swede Dish twist with a tart lingonberry swirl and a snowy powdered sugar finish. Make them the traditional way with scratch-made batter, or keep it simple with a King Arthur gluten-free brownie mix — both versions bake up beautifully for holiday tables, winter fika, or your Thanksgiving Smörgås.
