Goo without guilt

No Pudge! Fudge Brownies

Noshing & Sipping by Kelly Horan Jones

Sadly, the best brownies -- gooey, dense, and intensely chocolatey -- cling as indelibly to one's thighs (and conscience) as they do to one's teeth. Chalk it up to the hearty wallop of eggs and oil that make brownies such a guilty pleasure. So, hopeful, we baked a batch of No Pudge! Fudge Brownies, an all-natural mix of two cocoas, sugar, and flour that gets its goo from nonfat yogurt. The result? While hardly noncaloric -- 90 calories per sliver-size serving -- the No Pudge! brownies delivered rich and satisfying teeth-clinging chocolate. Guilt? What guilt? Offered in Original, Raspberry, Cappuccino, and Mint, the mix is available at Trader Joe's, Bread & Circus, Wild Harvest, and Nature's Heartland. Prices range from $1.99 to $3.99 for a 13.7-ounce mix.
