Nice chocolate treat. These are very cakey. More like a chocolate snack cake than a brownie in my opinion, but tasty. I used French chocolate squares that were sweetened so I cut the sugar down to 1 cup. I actually used 1/2 sugar and 1/2 splenda. I used olive oil and my applesauce was berry applesauce that I was trying to use up. I left off the powdered sugar as I felt it didn't need it. A nice, quick, snack cake that would make an easy addition to lunch boxes.

Hello! I am a student at UC Berkeley currently studying political science/economy and French. I am interested in the state of labor reform in Western European countries.
I love to travel...but with the weakening dollar I have had to make do with living in Berkeley for the time being...although it has not been bad at all! I live just a few blocks from Chez Panisse (hopefully I will go someday...)and there are so many different cuisines here that I want to try! I most recently had Tibetan and Burmese food, yum!
I am almost 100% converted to organic and environmentally friendly products...stop buying plastic bottles, bring your own bags to stores, reduce waste!
