This recipe was awesome. Instead of chocolate chips, I added 1/2 cup of oates and a 1/4 cup of raisins to the batter, along with a pinch of cinnamon and nutmeg. I also poured the batter into an 8x8 inch pan, and made bar cookies instead! They were irresistable from the very first bite. They even tasted better the next day! -
Yum... I doubled this recipe and used splenda brown for the brown sugar and 1/2 splenda 1/2 white sugar for the white. Plus I used whole wheat pastry flour since it's all I have. These were little brownie morsels with chocolate chips. I shaped them into balls and they definitely stayed like that! Quick and easy to pop into your mouth! -
Made for Zaar Tag. Thanks so much - this was really easy, good, and low fat! It was hard to stop eating them! I will be making these again!

I'm a real estate agent in the lovely city of Rochester, New York. That's not what I expected to do with my life. I got my bachelor's in psychology, my masters in literacy education, and I taught high school special education for two years. Then I discovered that helping people find the homes of their dreams was my real passion. I've been doing it for over two years now and still absolutely love my career.
Other than that, I have a very spoiled Border Collie mix named Bear that I adopted from a local shelter in spring '08. He's gorgeous and fun and brings me great joy. Now if only I could find a man like that... LOL!
