* 8 oz. bittersweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
* 2 T. butter
* 1 c. flour
* ¼ c. unsweetened cocoa powder
* ¼ t. salt
* ¼ t. baking soda
* 4 large eggs
* 1 c. packed light brown sugar
* ½ c. plain low-fat yogurt
* ¼ c. canola oil
* 2 t. vanilla
* ¾ c. Heath Bar bits, mini chocolate chips, or chopped walnuts

Preheat oven to 350. Spray a 9×13”pan with cooking spray.

Melt the chocolate and butter in a double boiler or heatproof bowl set over a pot of barely simmering water, stirring occasionally.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa, salt, and baking soda.

In a large bowl, whisk the eggs and sugar until smooth. Add the yogurt, oil, and vanilla and whisk until combined. Add the chocolate-butter mixture and whisk until blended. Add the flour mixture and mix until just moistened. Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and sprinkle with your topping of choice. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs attached (do not over bake). Cool completely in the pan. Cut into 24 squares and serve.
