Frank had been craving brownies, it was a good opportunity to try out this low fat/cal recipe. It came together very easily, they looked pretty good, but the taste left a lot to be desired. Texture was off, too. I can't recommend this one as is.

I've heard you can make diet coke brownies, we like the cupcakes, so I'll give that a shot next. Maybe those will be a success and settle his craving?
