HEATHER'S LOW-FAT BROWNIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a 13 x 9 inch pan with parchment paper and set aside.
• In a medium saucepan, melt butter. Remove from heat and add dark chocolate. Stir chocolate until melted. You may have to return to heat fir a few seconds until chocolate is melted. Let melted chocolate cool and then add all sugar and mix well. Add eggs one at a time and mix well after each addition. Fold in flour, salt, walnuts and chocolate chips. Pour into the prepared pan and tap pan on the counter a few times to get rid of any bubbles in the batter. Bake the brownies for 15 - 18 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with crumbs. Brownies should still be soft. Cool in pan for 20 - 30 minutes. Take brownies out of pan and cut into 24 even sized squares.
• 1 serving = 1 brownie 1 serving = 2 WW points.
