In a microwave, melt the chocolate and the butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Stir until smooth. Cool slightly. In a large bowl, beat the egg substitute and the sugars. Stir in the vanilla and the chocolate mixture. Combine the dry ingredients. Gradually add to the chocolate mixture. Stir in the walnuts.
