Made these a few times. The recipe was originated by this chick: images.jpg. She's a USAPL powerlifter & figure competitor. This chick's squat & DL make me question my own manhood @ times...not to mention she's friggin' cute!

When I made mine, I added a couple scoops of Chocolate whey protein. I plugged the recipe into MFP & I think it bumped the protein content by ~5g per brownie. Because of the moisture content, you need to refrigerate them. They're best when warm. I nuke them for ~30sec when I want to eat one. Top them w/ some of that Halo Top Ice cream & you feel like you're actually eating dessert!
