    2 eggs
    1 egg yolk
    1/4 low fat mayonaise
    1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted.

    Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Coat a 24 cup mini muffin pan (2") well with cooking spray, covering the insides of the cups and the top of the pan.

    Place the brownie mix in a large bowl. Beat together the eggs, egg yolk, and mayonnaise in a small bowl with an electric mixer on high speed for 2 minutes. Add to the brownie mix, along with butter.

    place the better in the muffin pan, filling each cup to the top or to slightly extend above the top. Bake for 10 minutes, or until the top surface is just cooked and inside is still soft.

    Immediately and gently remove the brownie bites from the pan using a tablespoon and serve.

    Note: The picture shows a brownie bite opened on a plate with a pudding like center oozing out. It won't be a typical brownie, thus the molten in the name. The inside is supposed to be like a pudding consistency.

    Thank you, that sounds delicious!

    Maybe I will even replace the butter with some applesauce or pumpkin to make the calories even lower.

    My main problem is that I can't get to a store... lol... so I can't buy a cake mix. No matter how much I want to! :) Because I love pumpkin and chocolate cake. Thanks!

    Devil's Food Cake

    Stir the espresso granules into the same measuring cup you use for the hot water and you won't have to use more than one bowl.

    CHOCOLATE RASPBERRY BARS WITH WHITE CHOCOLATE & ALMONDS
    Serves 16


    INGREDIENTS:

    2/3 cup SMUCKER'S SUGAR FREE jam (suggested: raspberry or strawberry)


    1 (21-ounce) box brownie mix (recommended: Duncan Hines Chewy Fudge)


    3 eggs ( 1 whole, 2 egg whites)


    1/2 cup unsweetened apple sauce


    1/4 cup water


    1/2 cup white chocolate chips, melted


    1/4 cup chopped salted almonds

    DIRECTIONS:

    Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Lightly spray a 9 by 13-inch baking pan with fat free cooking spray.

    In a small saucepan, stir the jam constantly over low heat until pourable, about 1 minute. Set aside.

    In a large bowl, blend together the brownie mix, egg, egg whites, apple sauce, and water. Using an electric hand mixer beat for 1 minute on medium speed. Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Spoon the jam over the top of the brownie batter. Using a small spatula, swirl jam into the brownie batter. Bake for 27 to 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted about 1-inch from the edge of the pan comes out clean.

    Spread with the melted chocolate and sprinkle with salted almonds. Transfer the pan to a wire rack to cool.

    Cut into 16 bars and store airtight in a plastic container for up to 1 week.

    RESULTS:

    This recipe makes for a very simple, beautiful dessert. I couldn't get over how well it turned out! Although I have been eating and cooking lean for some time now, I still know what "real" desserts and other dishes taste like (Yes, I have my splurges. It's all about balance). And with that being said, I really couldn't see how anyone would be able to tell these bars were made with apple sauce instead of oil and sugar free jam instead of the real-deal. And let's not forget how we cut the cholesterol content of the eggs by using only one whole egg, but using just the whites from the other two. Yet, with all those changes, the turnout was still a delicious, semi-homemade dessert that is fit to satisfy every chocolate-lovin' sweet tooth.

    ENJOY!

    I read a post here that said 1 box of chocolate cake mix, 1 can of pumpkin pie filling, and 2/3 cups of water. Bake in a cupcake tin according to instructions of the cake box! They swear you can't taste the pumpkin (I haven't tried it yet) but it's pretty true because pumkin isn't a strong flavor! :) I don't know the calories but the pumkin does add some veggie to your diet!
