Well I'm concerned about the fat content -- I know for a lot of recipes, you can sub applesauce for your oil or eggs and maintain the moisture. Would that work for these brownies? And just what is the heart:applesauce exchange ratio?

Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 40 minutes

Ingredients:
8- 1 ounce squares of unsweetened chocolate
1 cup butter
5 eggs
3 cups sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla
1-1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt
2-1/2 cups chopped pecans or walnuts, toasted
1 - Heart filled with the love of the Lord

Preparation:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Grease a 9 x 13 pan.
Melt chocolate and butter in a saucepan over low heat; set aside. In a mixer, beat eggs, sugar and vanilla at high speed for 10 minutes**. Blend in chocolate mixture, flour and salt until just mixed. Stir in the nuts. Pour into prepared pan.

Bake for 35-40 minutes. (Don't overbake.) Cool and frost if desired, but that is not necessary.

** It's not required, but this is when it's very nice to own a stand mixer.

Dammit - I just used up all of my love yesterday...

Any tips for getting the heart out of the chest cavity? Do I just crack the sternum with a hammer and pry apart the rib cage with a crow bar, or would I be better off with a dremel tool or something?
