Recipe Tip - The more you stir the ingredients, the more cake-like your brownies will be. The above recipe will not give you a completely fudge-like consistency - it is slightly more cake-like. Omit baking powder to help make a little more fudge-like.

    Fantastic! Extremely moist and chocolaty. Husband had no idea that these were lower in calories. Will definitely make again. Also like the small quantity. Don't need too many of these around since the pan was emptied quickly. - 5/11/09

    Made these for a guest and they were fantastic! Exactly what my sweet tooth was craving without going overboard. Used whole wheat pastry flour and only 1/2 cup brown sugar -- didn't miss it one bit! The mini chips were perfect. Will try adding a tsp. of instant coffee for mocha brownies next time! - 1/30/11

    So tasty! I was on a time constraint, so I wasn't able to find the butavan flavoring. I used butterscotch chips and mini chocolate chips sprinkled on the top. They were delicious thank you so much for the recipe!!! - 3/19/09

    Thanks for the review! For anyone wondering where you can get hold of Butavan (if you don't have to worry about a time constraint) I get mine from here: http://www.earlenescakes.com/store/flavors
    .html (shipping can be a little high in price though)

    OMG!! These are so incredibly moist. I was happily surprised with my first bite. I did alter the ingredients a little and used 1/2 cup of splenda and 1/2 cup of Sugar to lower the carb intake. I also used whole wheat flower to use it up..It was soo delicious!! - 1/21/09

    These are great even with cutting back sugar to 2/3 C. Used Swerve sugar replacement, Lilly stevia dark chocolate chips, (100) calorie amt. White whole wheat flour, dark choc. coco powder Love butavan flavoring, got at Amazon, This recipe introduced me to this & like it a lot in many recipes. - 11/7/17

    YUM! I didn't see where to insert the chocolate chips in the instructions so I sort of forgot about them, but even without, these were so good. I love the combination of chocolate/butterscotch! I will be making these again--thanks for the great recipe! - 2/11/12

    I ended up with thin, rubber-like brownies when I tried this last night. I'm not the best cook, so the recipe could be awesome, but my results were horrible. I hope to try it again. - 6/7/10
