Fudgy Low-Fat Chocolate Cake Bites

Submitted by Kymy8319

"So I was looking for yummy 'health food' brownie recipes... I came upon a few... I swapped out a few things, some how added too much applesauce but none the less my mistake is a YUMMY mistake for chocolate lovers! So instead of brownies we get super moist cake bites! They are only 1 WW point & just over 50 cals, but they are kinda small. I normally eat 1 or 2 at a time. But they are full of flavor, Low cal, Low fat, pretty low carb & nearly sugar free!!! It doesn't get much better then that! They are super yummy with your favorite sugar free preserves spread on top!"

I think this sounds like a great recipe for chocaholics! However, 2 TABLESPOONS of vanilla? Seriously? I think 2 teaspoons is overload even for this small batch recipe.
