Josh’s Candy cake Brownies

Josh’s Candy cake Brownies

Instead of worrying about how much candy your children are eating , why not stir up a batch of these kid pleasers named for my sweet – toothed grandson josh? They’ve got the same ingredients as many favorite candy bars (nuts, chocolate) , but they’re much better for the kids who gobble them down.

Serves 8 (2 each)

2 tablespoons no-fat sour cream

½ cup fat-free milk

1 egg, or equivalent in egg substitute

¾ cup SPLENDA Granular

¾ cup reduced-fat biscuit baking mix

¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder

¼ cup chopped dry-roasted peanuts

¼ cup mini chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 7-by-11-inch biscuit  pan with butter-flavoured cooking spray. In a large bowl, combine sour, cream, milk and egg. Stir in SPLENDA . Add baking mix and cocoa. Mix gently just to combine. Fold in peanuts and chocolate chips. Spread batter evenly into prepared pan. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes. Place pan on a wire rack and let set for at least 10 minutes . Cut into 16 bars.
