  1. Moist, fudgy - totally yummy. I also added about a 1/2 cup of roughly chopped walnuts, and although they didn't need it - I frosted them. These are really good if you want lots of chocolate flavor with very little guilt! I will make these again, but may have to double the recipe next time! -M :)
     
  2. This has a half cup of cocoa powder listed in the ingedients but doesn't say when to add it to the recipe. I combined it in with the flour, baking soda and salt and it turned out just wonderful. Great tasting brownies. Very delicious with the Raspberry Orange sauce.
     
  3. These are a nice low-fat treat. My kids loved them even after I told them they are low-fat....I will be making these again. They are very moist and GREAT ! :)
     
  4. Delicious! Wonderful lowfat comfort food! I made it exactly as directed. I ate my piece with half of a sliced apple, and drizzled the whole thing with a bit of fat free caramel ice cream topping. Yum! Thank you!
     
  5. These are quick, easy and delicious and not too hard on the waistline. My husband says I can make them again, which is code for GRRRREAT! Next time I'll give the walnuts a try.

  1. This is an AWESOME recipe! I substituted applesauce with pumpkin puree. YUM!
     
  2. i loved this recipe! i'm always looking for great ways to enjoy sweets without the guilt and my hubby just likes sweets;) i used splenda instead of sugar, 2 egg whites instead of an entire egg, and just one tablespoon of butter. i topped these with cool whip with some peanut butter mixed and we loved every last bite!
