Nice but could have been better. I will try it again but will never use the applesauce. I found it made the brownie too much like pudding and therefore not easy to crumble. Somehow it's interesting enough for me to do again. I also found the sauce too acid for my taste so I added more honey and also put only a sprinkle of cayenne pepper as I wasn't sure if it would spoil the sauce. However the prinkle did taste nice, it added that little 'what is that'? Still try it though and let us know what you think.

Excellent! I am making this dessert for the fourth time by request for my co workers. I do not put in the cayenne and it is still wonderful!

This is an amazing dessert! My family loved the berries (but my husband was not fond of the cayenne). Personally I liked it very much, but I do keep some of the berry mixture aside with no cayenne for my husband.

It was a hit!!! I did not make the brownies the lowfat way, I made them according to the box directions. I also did not use the balsamic vinegar because I didn't have any on hand and it was wonderful without it. The cayenne pepper adds just that little spark of "what was that?".
