Rice pudding is awesome, sweet, and creamy on its own, but we like to kick things up a notch. Scoop a spoonful of that caramel dip we love so much onto one of your pudding cups (um, AFTER you've opened the pudding pack, of course). Swirl in said caramel goo, and eat! A-MAZING!

Ingredients

• 4 ounce(s) unsweetened chocolate
  
• 2 tablespoon(s) unsalted butter
• 1 cup(s) whole-wheat pastry flour (see Tips & Techniques)
• 1/4 cup(s) unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/4 teaspoon(s) salt
• 4 large egg whites
• 3 large eggs
• 1 1/3 cup(s) packed light brown sugar
• 3/4 cup(s) unsweetened applesauce

• 1/2 cup(s) semisweet chocolate chips
• 1/3 cup(s) chopped walnuts, or pecans (optional)

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
2. Melt chocolate and butter in a double boiler over barely simmering water or in the microwave.
3. Whisk flour, cocoa and salt in a medium bowl.
4. Beat egg whites, eggs and sugar in a large mixing bowl with an electric mixer or whisk until smooth. Add applesauce, oil and vanilla; beat until blended. Add the chocolate-butter mixture; beat until blended. Add the flour mixture and mix at low speed just until moistened. Stir in chocolate chips. Scrape the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading evenly. Sprinkle with nuts, if desired.
5. Bake the brownies until the top springs back when touched lightly, 20 to 25 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely. Cut into bars. Variation: For a mocha flavor, in Step 4 stir in 4 teaspoons instant coffee granules dissolved in 2 tablespoons hot water.

Chocolate pudding is my absolute favorite food in the world, so this recipe from Delish really has me craving some right now.
