\"Fudgy<\/p>\n

This is another recipe that Monique picked out of the Weight Watchers\u00ae Annual Recipes for Success 2008 edition1<\/sup> cookbook and is found on page 47. We made a batch on Sunday, and they are some of the best and chewy chocolate fudge brownie-like morsels we have ever tasted. The gooey center with the crunchy pecans and chewy dried cherries really make this a fun treat! And for those who do track their WW points they are listed at a value of 1 point each!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
\"BatterThe recipe calls for mini muffin tins, and the original recipe lists the yield at 21 cookies, however, we were able to make 24 of them and used all of the slots in our 2 twelve muffin count tins for the single batch recipe. Total prep time is about 10 to 15 minutes and once they are in the oven and ready to eat is about another 25 minutes. So in about 40 minutes you can have these tiny fudgy brownie-like treats filling up chocolate aroma in your kitchen too!<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
