Recipe: Cherry-almond brownies

I've been craving brownies for a couple of weeks, so I decided to experiment in the kitchen today. They aren't exactly health food, but these brownies are lower in fat and include a few healthy ingredients. The biggest problem is that it's supposed to make 24 brownies. I might cut them into 24 squares, but something tells I won't be able to eat just one.


Ingredients
1 box store-bought brownie mix (I used the Food Lion dark chocolate brand.)
4 egg whites
1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/4 cup water
1 cup chopped fresh cherries
1/4 cup sliced almonds
1 cup mini marshmallows
Cooking spray

Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix brownie mix, egg whites, applesauce and water by hand in a large bowl. Coat 9x13-inch pan with cooking spray. Pour mix evenly into pan. Sprinkle cherries on top. Bake for 15-20 minutes until slightly firm but still moist on top. Sprinkle almonds and marshmallows on top. Continue baking for 5-10 minutes until brownies are firm in the middle. Let cool. Then cut into 24 squares.
