Mini-Brownie Candy Bars

I found these lovelies from the Weightwatchers website.

Mini-Brownie Candy Bars (16 servings at 3 points a piece)

Ingredients:

1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/4 cup unpacked brown sugar, firmly packed
1 tsp baking powder
1/3 cup unsweetened applesauce
2 Tbsp water
2 tsp vanilla extract
4 large egg white(s)
1/3 cup milk chocolate chips

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350°F. Coat a 9-inch baking pan with cooking spray.

Combine flour, brown sugar and baking powder in a large bowl; mix well. Add applesauce, water, vanilla extract and egg whites; blend well. Spoon batter into pan and smooth top; sprinkle with chocolate chips.

Bake until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, about 30 minutes. Cool completely before cutting into 16 pieces.

I didn't look at the recipe too closely before I made it, so I assumed from the name that the chocolate chips would be mixed into the batter. I didn't realize that you only placed the chips on top, and I was worried about the chocolate chip/batter ratio. But it actually worked very well. There was enough chocolatey goodness in each bar to call these delicious. In my eyes if a dessert doesn't have chocolate, then it is no dessert at all! Okay that's not always true, but I definitely love chocolate. I served these to the husband and a couple of good friends of ours, and everyone seemed to like them a lot.
