brownie bust
These brownies really don't compare to regular brownies. They definitly taste like they are diet food, I won't be making again.

Easy to Make
These were so easy to make. They were pretty good for being better for you- even my brother liked them lol The only bad thing was after a few days they werent as good even after they are heated for a few seconds.

Good
It has a little less flavor than regular brownies, but it has to be expected considering they are healthier than regular brownies.

another suggestion
I've also used a mix and substituted unsweetened applesauce for most (or all) of the oil called for. Add a shot of Kahlua (or maybe some orange flavoring), undercook a bit, stash in the freezer... you have reduced fat, very fudgy brownies :)
