Satisfying Dessert

A poster to the Weight Watchers message boards put me on to this delightful treat. Jell-O Mousse Temptations. In chocolate. Mmmm...

Above is a pic of Chocolate Indulgence, but the one I can vouch for is the Dark Chocolate Mousse. At 60 calories, it's an indulgence that's truly affordable in a diet! This light-textured confection is sugar-free, but you'd never know. In addition to the regular chocolate flavor, the mousse also comes in caramel creme.

It was just released nationwide this month, though, so you may have to do some hunting for it.

Dessert Idea

I've been crushing on the various flavors of fat-free ice cream from Breyers over the past month or so.

I had a brilliant idea for jazzing up my fat-free vanilla ice cream last night—adding candy. I had some Weight Watchers toffee bars (by Whitman), and I whacked them with the flat side of a meat tenderizer to crush them. They were a delightful addition to my half-cup serving of ice cream!

The Whitman chocolates come in many flavors, including double chocolate fudge, mint chocolate, and chocolate peanut butter, to name a few. The Breyers ice cream comes in vanilla, French chocolate, strawberry, chocolate cookies & cream, and more.

Another Good Diet Dessert

I made this last night. Tasted just as good as the fried version!

• 2 taco-size corn tortillas
• 1 tsp. cinnamon sugar
• quick spritz of cooking spray

Heat the tortillas in the microwave for 1 minute; turn over. Heat for another minute, or until crisp.
Lightly spray the tortillas with the cooking spray; top each with cinnamon sugar.

(You might be able to forego the cooking spray; I just thought it would make the cinnamon sugar adhere better. I'll try without next time.)

Dessert for Y'all Chocolate Lovers

I was a fiend for Haagen-Dazs' Mayan Dark Chocolate for a minute...A sale at Shop Rite introduced me to this decadent treat, and then the flavor was discontinued!

Oh, well, don't need 'em now. I have a diet-friendly alternative. I found a fudge pop at my local ALDI that's very low-cal (50/0/0 for my Weight Watchers fam), and I rolled it in a teaspoon of cinnamon sugar. It satisfied my chocolate/cinnamon jones.
