Ingredients

• 0.25 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 0.5 cup Hershey's Simply 5 Syrup (lower sugar syrup)
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, melted
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar substitute (like Stevia or Monkfruit)
• 0.25 cup Brown sugar substitute
• 2 whole Large eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.75 cup All-purpose flour
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 cup Chocolate chips (optional, reduced sugar or dark chocolate)
• 0.25 cup Chopped nuts (optional, like walnuts or pecans)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8x8 inch square baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, granulated sugar substitute, brown sugar substitute, and Hershey's Simply 5 Syrup until smooth and fully combined.

Step 3

Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the wet mixture, whisking until light and creamy.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

If using optional chocolate chips or nuts, gently fold them into the batter at this stage.

Step 7

Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly with the spatula.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter).

Step 9

Remove the pan from the oven and let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before cutting into 12 squares.

Step 10

Serve and enjoy your Lower Sugar Hershey's Syrup Brownies! Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
