Low-Point Shamrock O'Brownie

As luck would have it, you can enjoy this very moist brownie for only 1.3 points per piece. I don't think leprechauns even get that lucky. :) The recipe called this delicious dessert a cake but it's just too moist and dense, like a soft chewy brownie. With one teaspoon of frosting on each piece, it's still less than 2 points per piece! Bake and share this "green" brownie dessert, and no-one will want to pinch you this St. Patrick's Day.
