3 Ounce Semisweet chocolate
Coarsely chopped - OR -
3 Ounce Semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 Cup Red-cal. margarine (tub)
4 Lg eggs (room temperature)
1/2 Cup Granulated sugar
1 Teaspoon Vanilla extract
1/4 Teaspoon Salt
3/4 Cup All-purpose flour
Confectioners' sugar and/or
Unsweetened cocoa powder
To garnish (optional)

Preheat oven to 350. Lightly spray an 8" square baking pan with nonstick
cooking spray. In top of double boiler, over barely simmering water (or in
microwave), melt chocolate and margarine; remove from heat and stir until
smooth. Set aside to cool to roo
m temperature. In large bowl, with electric mixer at high speed, beat eggs and
sugar until pale yellow, thick and tripled in volume, about 7 minutes. Beat in
vanilla and salt. By hand, stir in cooled chocolate mixture, then fold in
flour, just until inco
rporated. Pour evenly into prepared pan and bake 20-25 minutes, just until a
knife inserted in center comes out almost clean. (If brownies are slightly
underbaked, they will have a fudgier texture.) Cool on rack before cutting into
8 equal bars. If desir
ed, dust brownies with either confectioners' sugar or cocoa. Makes 8 servings
of 1 brownie each. Each serving provides: 1/2 protein exchange, 1/2 bread
exchange, 1 1/2 fat exchange, 115 calories optional exchange. Per serving: 2!
