Chocolate Truffle Bars

This Recipe Is:

By Elaine Magee, MPH, RD
WebMD Recipe

If you would rather not use sugar-substitute, simply delete it from the recipe. These brownie-like bars have a wonderful texture, too.

Ingredients

Prep: 20 minutes | Cook: 25 minutes | Total Time: 45 minutes

2/3 cup
less-fat margarine, with 8 grams of fat per tablespoon
1/3 cup
fat-free half-and-half
7 ounces
unsweetened baking chocolate, chopped, (approximately 7 squares)
1 1/2 cups
granulated sugar
1 cup
sugar-substitute
2 large
eggs, use higher omega-3 type, if available
1/2 cup
egg substitute
1/2 cup
whole-wheat flour
1/2 cup
all-purpose white flour
1 1/2 teaspoons
vanilla extract
1 cup
walnut pieces

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly coat a 9 x 13-inch pan (or two 9-inch square baking pans) with canola spray. Set aside.
Add the margarine and fat-free half-and-half to a medium nonstick saucepan and melt the butter, stirring constantly, over medium-low heat. Once the margarine is melted, remove the pan from the heat.
Add the chopped baking chocolate to the melted butter, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon until chocolate is completely melted. Add the sugar and sugar substitute and stir to blend well.
Add the eggs, one at a time, stirring vigorously after each. Add egg substitute and stir to combine. Add the whole-wheat and white flours and stir to combine. Stir in the vanilla extract and walnuts.
Pour batter into prepared baking pan(s) and bake for 23-25 minutes (20 minutes if using two pans). The brownies will still look somewhat soft and shiny. Remove from the oven and place on cooling rack.
