Holy Hot Chocolate, Batman!

I don't know about you, but sometimes I really struggle with getting in my dairy. I have to have 3 servings because I am post-hysterectomy (surgical menopause)... I love milk, but not skim and since I'm doing SFT, I don't want to count additional points for milk.

I brought this up at a meeting last week and one of my fellow WW friends suggested this amazing hot chocolate. Diet Swiss Miss (1p+ for TWO packet) - NOT sugar free (which is 2p+ per packet). In fact, you can add fat free Cool Whip to it and it is still under 1 point for two packets. Because it is only 6oz of water to each packet of hot chocolate, I always use two packets. I can't believe I can have delicious hot chocolate every day and get TWO servings of dairy, luscious chocolaty goodness and all for only 1p+ ... I love going to meetings and learning awesome tips like this one.

Craving Something Sweet and Chocolatey?

I have been craving something warm sweet and chocolatey! So I hit the net and found this recipe on Dashing Dish. Oh my goodness! I thought I had died and gone to heaven!! These little 3 point sweeties are the perfect dessert or snack!

I had 1/2 a can of pumpkin in my fridge so I substituted that for the applesauce and I used fat free sour cream instead of the yogurt since that was all I had! I got 24 muffins from the recipe and I of course ate one right away, and I took 1 to my in-laws house to eat when everyone else was eating chocolate cake. I popped the rest in a freezer bag and I when I want one I pop one in the microwave for 30 seconds. Try breaking one apart on a plate (I like making it look like I have a lot on my plate) top it with strawberries and a little fat free topping!
