Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
My husband won't eat brownies from a mix, but loves these. They are not extremely sweet since they are made with unsweetened chocolate.

For a lower fat version substitute 1/3 of the butter for 1/3 cup of applesauce, 1/2 cup baking cocoa for the chocolate squares and 1 egg plus 4 egg whites for the 3 eggs. Decrease nuts to 1/2.
