A good chocolate option for those watching their intake. Easy to prepare using ingredients I always have on hand. I used light butter as my my added fat and used a small amount of mini chocolate chips rather than walnuts. (When you are looking for a chocolate fix, what better to add than more chocolate.) The brownies are very thin and soft - mine were even moister than I expected almost like a cookie. Thanks Marra. Made for the Safari Supper Club's Summer Spectacular.

Very Nice! Made them tonight, substituted walnuts for raisins. My brownies don't seem very moist! Your photo looks like yours were more moist than mine.
