3/4 c. all-purpose flour
Sweetener equivalent to 1 1/4 c. sugar

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cream butter and sweetener. Add melted chocolate and beat until smooth. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Add flour, baking powder and nuts. Beat until smooth. Pour into a greased and floured pan. Bake for 30 minutes. 1/2 bread and 2 fat exchanges.

| | Of course you wife loves you, you are a wonderful person Dave! The brownies sound great, I wish someone loved me enough to bake them for me.  Hubby did make some cabbage rolls without rice for me.

| | | Tell her to make an extra pan! That sounds seriously yummy. I will print this one out!
Well, Ant Hill, it's hard to describe exactly what it is about brownies that is so enticing. They're thicker and more substantial than cookies, chewy, fudgy, rich--rather like a very dense cake--but they're not heavy.
O.K. I have just been indulging in food porn. BAD Scrabblechick!
