Grease an 8-inch square pan and set aside. Melt the butter and chocolate together in the top of a double boiler or in a microwave set to medium power, stirring occasionally until smooth. Set the mixture aside to cool slightly. Mix the almond meal, baking powder and salt together in a small bowl; set aside. Stir the sugar substitute in to the chocolate mixture, beat in the eggs and vanilla by hand; then carefully fold in the bake mix mixture. Add nuts if desired. Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake until a toothpick inserted halfway between the center and edge of the pan comes out fairly clean, 20-25 minutes. Cool the brownies on a rack (a half hour is the absolute minimum; an hour or two is better).

Yes | Rating: 9    Pros: Rich decadent and easy to make Cons: only can eat 1 a day My DH and I have tried many brownie recipes and this is our favorite. I use 2 Tbsp. Davinci Raspberry in the batter (just enhances the chocolate). In place of 1 cup Splenda, I use 1/3 cup Splenda, scant 1/4 cup Erythritol, scant 1/4 cup Diabetisweet. For an extra treat, I mix up the cream cheese frosting w/ Irish Cream or Kahlua Davinci's. Best brownies - would make an excellent bottom to a decadent cheesecake. rina9000 Senior LCF Member Registered: April 2005 Location: Rochester, NY Posts: 105 Review Date: Tue January 24, 2006 Would you recommend the Recipe?

Yes | Rating: 3    Pros: Timing was right; baked well with no unbaked :"raw" spots Cons: not "rich" enough, and splenda taste was part of problem I am at a point in low-carbing where I am trying to find goodie recipes, and this one seemed, by ingredients to have what I wanted. So I made it today. Almond meal as an ingredient instead of flour seemed VERY rich, plus the butter and eggs. But the finished product was dry, and the sweet taste seemed very chemical to me. Maybe if I use an extra egg or add oil or use another sweetener it would work better.
