    I made this recipe and everyone seems to love it. The only issue I have is with the portion size. 40 pieces from a 9x13 is very very tiny. I had to put the recipe in again and recalculate for 24 pieces and it still came out to just under 100 (96 cal). So you can have bigger still under 100. - 6/10/10

    I had a monster zucchini and made two batches. The only change I made was to add some semi-sweet chips. Everyone who's had these kept saying "There isn't ANY butter in this???" They are so moist and completely satisfy a chocolate craving. Dee-lish! - 8/17/10

    I was unsure about them,but very surprised when I ate them...it's more like a dense cake then a brownie...I also used 1 c splenda and 1/2 c sugar because I ran out of sugar...that was a mistake... it leaves a sweet splenda taste in your mouth..next time using all sugar or less splenda! - 6/2/10

    Yum! The family keeps asking for these. Used Splenda an egg, some walnuts and drizzled honey on top. The batter was pretty dry so I added just a little water.

    Made these again with only 1c flour and still added an egg. This makes them very moist where the orig. is more dense. I like them both way
