I am a chocoholic. (aren't we all?...) I am always trying to make my favorite recipes lighter. Here is one I recently tried.
Peanut Butter Brownie Bites ( test 1)
Prep time:  5 min
Cook time:  15 min
Serves: 28
Ingredients
| 1 box fudge brownie mix, mix only | |
| 2/3 cup unsweetened applesauce | |
| 2 egg white(s) | |
| 1/4 cup water | |
| 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter, warmed | 
Instructions
- preheat oven 350 and spray cupcake tins with non-stick spray
 - 1. Mix box brownie mix with the applesauce and egg whites.
 - 2. Pour into prepared cupcake tins. (approximately 1/8 cup batter in each) Drop about 1/2 tsp peanut butter onto each cupcake. Use a toothpick to swirl a design in each one.
 - 3. Bake about 15 minutes until tester comes out clean.
 - **use mini muffin tins for even lower calorie treat
 
These brownies are a little more cake-like than I prefer. I am thinking of omitting the water and maybe adding baking powder... What do you think?

Lida, This is great! How you've hit the nail on the head. I learned almost all I know about cooking from living in LA and your mom . It's hard to cook any other way, but I'm trying! Looking forward to your next blog!!
