After all the work and expense of braces, the food cravings seem to kick in!  Fudge brownies are generally a big ‘no no’ for those with braces. Dr. Christopher Orthodontics, would like you to know that you don’t have to forgo those chocolate food cravings. This fudge brownie recipe is not only delicious but healthy to your new orthodontic work.

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
2. Melt margarine and chocolate in a large saucepan over medium heat. Stir in cocoa: cook 1 minute.  Stir in sugar, and cook 1 minute (mixture will almost form a ball and be difficult to stir).  Remove pan from heat; cool slightly.
Combine egg whites and egg. Gradually add warm chocolate mixture to egg mixture, stirring with a whisk until well blended. Combine flour and baking powder; add flour mixture to chocolate mixture, stirring well.
3. Spoon batter into a 9-inch square baking pan coated with cooking spray. Bake at 325 degrees for 30 minutes.  Be careful to not over bake. Cool on a wire rack.
