    I have tried so many brownie alternatives . . . most dissapointing. This one, however has great texture and the flavor is very chocolatey. I added a dash of cinnamon to the mix. I was amazed that it makes 16 big squares with only 79 cal/each. Yes, I will definately make this recipe again. - 10/9/09

    I made it last night, change it a little. I used 1 can of beans, 2 eggs, 1/4 C cocoa powder,1/4 C honey instead of sugar, vanilla. It's to die for. - 2/11/11

    I have a similar recipe that is a little easier. You take a regular brownie mix (9x13) size. Drain the black beans, then put them back in the can. Fill the can with water just to cover the black beans. Puree water & beans. Add to brownie mix and bake as directed. Do not add box ingred. - 4/28/10

    Made these last night & had one with my coffee this morning - while the rest of the office snarfed down bagels & pastries : - ). They're excellent! I followed the recipe exactly & I'm thrilled with how they turned out. Will definitely satisfy my chocoate craving. - 6/26/09

    I find that these are just good enough to satisfy cravings for baked goods without being so good I feel like eating the whole pan. They don't taste like beans but they don't taste like real brownies either.

    I'll probably make again as I can't trust myself with the real thing.
