21g of Carbs for a single brownie does not make this a diabetic friendly snack and stating that it is can be dangerous!

My daughter and I did not like these at all. They went right into the trash. Too much almond and too bitter.

although these brownies sound really good, 4gm of saturated fat definitely does not define them as low fat. It would be good if they could be an alternative to the ingrediences. Also very high in cholesterol.

Good Grief!! You people that are on diets or restrictive diets, stay away from the dessert section. I am really tired of hearing you gripe about the calorie content. Just make them and eat them and shut-up and let the rest of us enjoy them.

This is a great recipe; however, I found this recipe doing a search for DIABETIC recipes. This hardly qualifies as a diabetic recipe; it's loaded with sugar and carbs. And it's really not lo-calorie, either. 36 servings from a 9 x 13 pan? Seriously? Who eats a dessert that small? These numbers are artificially smaller than what the average person eats. Again, it's a great recipe, just not for dieters or diabetics.

Wrong-o, Mcallis! The sugar would be LESS than 21 grams. Carbohydrates can also be fiber and starch. I doubt there would be any fiber at all in here, although I do not doubt that there would be plenty of starches from the all-purpose flour.By the way mw68, it doesn't matter if you make things "lighter" or "sugar-free"- these are still empty calories.

You could make this recipe less fattening by using sugar free ingredients; egg substitute, sugar free cool whip, sugar free choc syrup, margarine, sugar free candy bar or chips. And the flavor will still be there.

Agree MSBOOP, We should all be aware that not all recipes are for all consumers. If I am seeking low fat/calorie/sugar or other no/no's, I will look at a sight that caters to special dietary needs or desires. I can tell by looking wether a recipe meets my dietary desires. Then~ I just want to know what you think of the particular recipe that you tried. Thanks

These were excellent, and YES I expected them to be fattening, but look at the ingredients, if you want non fat, then don't make something with butter, sugar, eggs, chocolate, IF you want a REALLY GOOD DESSERT make these, and please, when you rate a recipe, make it about the recipe,(TASTE) not the content?
