Whole Wheat Sea Salt Brownies

I have a sweet tooth. This is no secret. But I don't like things too sweet. And a sweet & salt combo is like Heaven!
So when I discovered the existence of sea salt brownies thanks to a cashier at Trader Joe's I knew it was meant to be.
Trader Joe's sea salt brownies are little bite sized pieces of rainbows (At least what I imagine rainbows taste like...). A dense dark chocolate chunk of brownie infused and sprinkled with little pieces of sea salt. Yum. But alas, we do not live near a Trader Joe's (which is a very very good thing) so that means when a craving hits I am out of luck. That's why I made these little babies. Plus they are made with whole wheat flour and honey (instead of sugar) and I can customize them the way I want. Next time I think I will add in some expresso to add to the richness and some chocolate chips to add to the chocolate factor. You can add or subtract to the salty factor, the measurements given make them slightly salty but not overwhelming. So do what you will with this recipe! You can't mess it up! :)
