Dark Chocolate Brownies

Yields 3-9 Servings – entire pan is only 900 calories!

That leaves you 3 options:

1. Eat 3 brownies and that’s a meal (no problem, I’ve done it!)

2. Cut the pan into sixths and then eat your brownie with HALF of another recipe

3. just add one brownie to your day as an extra little snack (especially if you are only eating 4 meals per day) They are really good crumbled in a PB2 Protein Shake!
