WW Brownies 1 pt.

Ingredients

1 box duncan hines brownie mix

1 15.5 oz can of black beans

Instructions


Puree beans in blender or processor then add them to dry mix and blend well. Pour batter into pan and bake for 26-28 minutes on 350 degrees...don't add anything but the beans to the dry mix. Cut into 24 pieces for one point each.  

If you make them in mini muffin tins and make 48 they will be 1/2 pt. each.  These are good and my grandkids even like them.  Also any brownie mix will work.  This works best if you rinse the beans in the can and fill the can up with water before you grind them up.

Chocolate Covered Strawberries -1pt



Servings: 12 • Size: 1 strawberry • Calories: 49 • Points: 1 ww pts


4 oz dark semi-sweet chocolate
12 strawberries
Rinse and completely dry the strawberries.

In a medium microwave safe bowl, microwave chocolate on HIGH for 30 seconds. Stir and repeat until all the chocolate is melted. (Do not overheat or the chocolate will become chunky and separated)

Dip strawberries and place on waxed paper to cool. You can eat right away refrigerate to give it a hard chocolate coating.

This was taken from Gina's WW recipes.


I just realized I didn't do as bad as I thought for Valentine's Day. My homemade chocolate covered strawberries were only 1 pts! Whoo Hoo!

I did not use the microwave it changes the molecular structure of food and therefore less nutrient values so I used a double boiler. I try to not use the microwave as much as possible.
