I created these deep chocolate brownies by combining several recipes. After they cooled, I divided them up and put them in the freezer or we would have eaten the entire pan! They're now a family favorite.

Urk! With 2 cups of sugar, the brownies shouldn't need so much icing, not to mention that the majority of the ingredients are also unhealthy! Substitute:- 1 cup applesauce for the melted butter- Try using whole wheat white flour for the all purpose- Use 4 tablespoons of ground flaxseed and 12 tablespoons of liquid (i.e; fat free or nonfat milk, lukewarm water, or oil) instead of the eggs. Let the mixture of ground flax seed and liquid sit for 5 or so minutes before using.- Reduce the sugar in the brownies by at LEAST 1/4 cups!- Adding a splash of hazelnut extract to the icing and replacing the hazelnuts with 1/3 cups unsweetened flaked coconut (although this adds more saturated fat...)- Try reducing the amount of icing in general, or just make 3/4 of the recipe:1-1/2 c. chocolate chips3/4 c. heavy whipping cream or refrigerated nondairy creamer1.5 tbs. butter1/3 c. chopped hazelnuts (or coconut 8D)1.5 tsp. hazelnut extract (opt.)

These brownies are so good! The frosting definately 'makes' the brownie.
