Chocolate Bites with Walnuts


Ingredients:

1 Box of Double Chocolate Ghirardelli Brownie Mix (with chips)

1 Can of pumpkin puree (15 oz)


Take a baking pan and spray it with non stick spray. Pour out your brownie mix into a bowl and add your pumpkin. Without adding anything else stir all together, till the consistancy is whipped. Place into the baking pan and bake at 350 for 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and sprinklle your chopped walnuts, let it cool slice into small 1/2 inch pieces and serve. This almost tastes like a fudge, and you are getting extra fber from the pumpkin, and not all the added fat from oil and butter you may have used in the past.

Comes to about 70 calories in 1 small bite.

Calories are about 90 in 1 cookie

Here we are using less white flour, egg substitute, an Better Life Butter has no hydroginated oils and less fat. Plus you are getting a little protien and good fat from the chopped nutes and less sugar from using a sugar/fat free pudding substitute.
