  3       oz           Semisweet chocolate
                       Coarsely chopped - OR -
  3       oz           Semisweet chocolate chips
    1/2   c            Red-cal. margarine (tub)
  4                    Lg eggs (room temperature)
    1/2   c            Granulated sugar
  1       t            Vanilla extract
    1/4   ts           Salt
    3/4   c            All-purpose flour
                       Confectioners' sugar and/or
                       Unsweetened cocoa powder
                       To garnish (optional)

 Preheat oven to 350. Lightly spray an 8" square baking
 pan with nonstick cooking spray. In top of double
 boiler, over barely simmering water (or in microwave),
 melt chocolate and margarine; remove from heat and
 stir until smooth. Set aside to cool to room
 temperature. In large bowl, with electric mixer at
 high speed, beat eggs and sugar until pale yellow,
 thick and tripled in volume, about 7 minutes. Beat in
 vanilla and salt. By hand, stir in cooled chocolate
 mixture, then fold in flour, just until incorporated.
 Pour evenly into prepared pan and bake 20-25 minutes,
 just until a knife inserted in center comes out almost
 clean. (If brownies are slightly underbaked, they will
 have a fudgier texture.) Cool on rack before cutting
 into 8 equal bars. If desired, dust brownies with
 either confectioners' sugar or cocoa. Makes 8 servings
 of 1 brownie each.
  Each serving provides: 1/2 protein exchange, 1/2
 bread exchange, 1 1/2 fat exchange, 115 calories
 optional exchange. Per serving: 236 calories.
