Moist and Fudgy Brownies

These brownies are heavenly!

4 squares of unsweetened Baking Chocolate
1/3 cup canola oil
1/3 cup unsweetened applesauce
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups sugar
8 large egg whites
1 cup flour
1/2 cup chopped Pecans or Walnuts

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line 13x9 baking dish with foil, with ends of foil extending over short sides of pan. Grease foil.

Microwave chocolate in large microwaveable bowl on HIGH 1 minute. Stir until chocolate is completely melted. Add oil, applesauce and vanilla; mix well. Stir in sugar. Add egg whites, stir until well blended. Add flour and nuts; mix well. Spread batter into prepared pan.

Bake 25 minutes or until brownies start to pull away from sides of pan. Cool completely. Remove brownies from pan using foil handles.

If they last long enough to cool...you can use a small food strainer to sift 1 to 2 teaspoons powdered sugar over the cooled brownies.

Too much seasoning?

I had always heard if your soup was too salty just throw in a raw potato and that will solve the problem...never worked for me.

Now I read that if your dish is too salty try adding a bit of sugar or maple syrup.

If it's too sweet then lemon or vinegar will cut down on both too-salty or too-sweet dishes. If the dish is savory you can add a dash of cayenne to cut down on the sugar.

If it's too spicy add something with a little fat like butter or something sweet like peanut butter or honey.

I'd like to know if anyone has had any success using any of these methods.
