Sugar Free Brownie Bites

My boyfriend is diabetic but loves sweets, so I took a favorite - Chocolate Crinkles - and modified it a bit.  It doesn't flatten out like the original, so we renamed it "Brownie Bites".  It's just as good but without all the sugar!

½ cup oil
2 ounces unsweetened chocolate, melted (you can buy this in melted packets)
2 cups sugar substitute
4 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 – 12oz package unsweetened chocolate chips
Pecan (think I used ½ cup, but you can use more)

Mix oil, melted chocolate and sugar substitute.  Add 1 egg at a time.  Add vanilla. (I used an electric mixer)

STIR in flour, baking powder and salt.  When well blended, stir in chocolate chips and pecans.

Chill several hours or overnight.

Preheat oven to 350.  Roll a teaspoon size of dough into a ball.  Place on greased baking sheet.  Bake 10 – 12 minutes.  Do not over bake.  Enjoy!
