Default Low-carb Brown-butter Brownies

1/2 cup xylitol
1/3 cup polydextrose


Both of those are items that I am not willing to deduct from my carb
count. This would make what I would call slow-carb rather than low-carb
brownies. Each of us get to make our own decisions on the stance, but I
do advocate taking Harlan Ellison's stance - "You are not allowed to
have your own opinion. You're only allowed to have your own *informed*
opinion". Deducting the carbs of these ingredients because it says so
on their labels isn't an informed decision if that's your only reason
for the deduction. Deducting the carbs because you have a long term
history of disagreeing with me, that's a much better reason!

1/2 cup Hi Maze


I suspect the same applies to this.

1/2 cup sugar-equivalent liquid sucralose


I take it this is a brand like the ones used at espesso bars not the
much more concentrated Sweetfreez.
