Rachel'S Fantabulous Nesquik Peanut Butter Chip Brownies

• 4 tablespoons butter
• 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce (use dry cup set to measure! Not a liquid measuring cup)
• 1/2 cup dark brown sugar
• 2/3 cup chocolate-flavor Nestle Nesquik powder
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/3 cup reese's peanut butter chips

1. Semi-melt the butter in your microwave-- not completely melted, about halfway with the rest of the butter very malleable.
2. In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter, dark brown sugar, and applesauce together with an electric beater or whisk.
3. Beat in the Nesquik and vanilla.
4. Beat in the eggs or egg whites one at a time, beating well after each addition.
5. Gradually add in the cup of flour. It should have a very thick, creamy, chocolatey consistency like those frosting commercials.
6. Beat in the salt and baking soda-- skip this step and ingredients if you are using self-rising flour.
7. Whisk in the baking chips until well blended, and grease an 8x8 square pan with cooking spray.
8. Pour the mixture into the pan and make sure it is even.
9. Bake for 15-20 minutes at 375F, or until set.
10. **If doubling-- just double all the ingredients and follow the steps exactly the same, except you'll pour the mixture into a greased 11x7 pan and bake for about 25-30 minutes.
