Buff Brownies

Reflecting back on Super Bowls past, I remember when my Colts played (and beat!) the Bears a few years ago during my college years.  I got to thinking about what food my roommates and I served at our party.  It was pretty much chips and dip and one of those giant cookies from the grocery store with tons of icing, as well as my favorite- cupcakes (also with icing)!  Since that time, I have make a conscious effort to eat better.  Here is a healthy alternative to your average fattening brownie.  Inspired by Sally but I added my favorite protein powder to the mix.
