Super Fudge-tastic Lowfat White Chocolate Candy Cane Brownies

Why is this a Foodgasm?

Fudge-iness - It's a real thing and it's all about the texture! That texture that says "Woah this is bad for me but I would die in hell for this!," yeah it's that serious. Then you take that amazing fudge-iness to a brownie and top it with white chocolate and candy cane pieces and you got a fantastic and gorgeous holiday treat that will WOW your friends! But it is also seriously easy to make AND lower in fat. Come on...does it REALLY get any better than that?!

How did I do it? Well I added pumpkin in place of eggs and MOST of the fat. I usually go full pumpkin and skip any fat. But I have learned a lesson kids- some fat is ALWAYS better than none at all. Like fat free cheese is nasty- low fat is good. (Did you ever see fat free ricotta? It's a gross gelatinous mass). Do the brownies taste like pumpkin? A little bit BUT overall the chocolate takes over your palette, especially with the addition of the white chocolate and peppermint.

So for your holiday parties try out this super easy, super impressive and lowfat treat. Everyone will be like "Where does she find the time?" "Wow you are so talented and shit...". Only you will know the secret and I won't tell!

Decadent Brownies with Soco Infused Cherries and Pistachios

 

Why is this a Foodgasm?

As I sit here typing the name of these brownies I am noticing a liquor trend. Do I need to go to Food Alcoholics Anonymous? Nah, I like to think of NY Foodgasm as healthy food with a 'tude- so bring it on! So you say brownies- there ain't nothing healthy about brownies. So I tricked you a little, but it's only because you will never taste the black beans. Now these are not healthy as in no fat and low calories- these are healthy as in full of nutrients and not just empty meaningless calories. Let me just paint a picture for you- rich melted dark chocolate, Southern Comfort soaked dried cherries packaged in a fudge-a-licious brownie that just so happens to be made with black beans.

I found this recipe on 80Twenty and I knew I found a foodie soulmate! Her recipes and her photos ROCK, go take a look!

No you have not died and gone to heaven- nope this is just NY Foodgasm just intoxicating you with some fine brownies!
