Tuxedo Brownies

With Memorial Day coming up many of us go to BBQ, parties or get togethers.  If you are like myself or my friends you always bring something to the party. I am always the person who brings the desserts, surprise surprise right! Something I feel is a smart idea is that I bring something small and individual that people can just grab and eat.  These are my tuxedo Brownies. They are small, cute, delicious and perfect for everyone! As Always they are simple to make as well.

What you need!

·         Mini Muffin Pans

·         Brownies

·         Cool whip / Frosting

·         Strawberries (optional) (or another fruit you may like)

Follow the directions on the back of the box for the brownies. Bake for about 10 minuets use the toothpick test to make sure they are done. Once done let cool and then you can decorate the rest of the dessert! With the strawberries, I used and egg slicer and put the strawberry bottom up and slice almost all the way to the bottom.  Then fan out the slices of strawberries it gives it a cute look, that looks like you are a professional chef and you will get tons of compliments and its something so simple.

There you have it! A great small, simple and cute dessert to have at your next big party. Plus, the receips makes about 48 of these babies. 

Please remember eat responsibly!  

Dessert On a Diet!

Just like me I’m sure many of you face the same struggle I have. You always want to lose weight but, then you go out to eat or are at a birthday party of a family gathering and the desserts comes. Brownies, Cake, Ice-cream, and cookies. Your mouth waters and then you say “ I can start my diet tomorrow”. That’s what I always say too. However something always comes up that tomorrow never comes.

I have simple dessert that is very simple and tasty to satisfy your sweet tooth. Believe it or no its sugar free and low calories. I know I know too good to be true right! WRONG! All you need is sugar free angel food cake and sugar free cool whip. Then you can add any fruit Strawberries, Raspberries, Blueberries, pineapple or even coconut to make it taste even better.

Yes, its that simple. Now! Most of you think what about ice cream weight watchers and Skinny cow have done a great job at make ice cream and many other food taste good that are not too bad for you. There is also diabetic friendly Ice-cream that you can use as well. Best part is, it taste almost identical to regular Ice-cream but it’s a little bit healthier for you filled with fiber and protein.

Granted it’s not the moose tracks, mackinaw Island Fudge, or the Dairy Queen that we all adore and love but it helps most people just like me get the sweet part satisfied.   It’s just a small step in the right direction but this is a dessert that you will not feel so guilty about after eating!
