Rolo Brownie Bites

A couple weeks ago I needed a quick dessert to take to a family birthday. I had this recipe so I wanted to try it. Its super easy and everyone at the party loved them.

What you will need:

Box of Browies and the ingredients listed on the box

Bag of individual Rolo's

Miniature cupcake/muffin paper

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 35o degrees

Make the Brownie Batter as the box instucts.

Put 1/2 tbsp of brownie mix into each cupcake liner....I like to use the Pampered Chef scoop.

Then drop a Rolo into the brownie mix and cover rolo with another 1/2 tbsp of batter.

Before they go into the oven. You can see some of the brownies are fully covered with batter and some need to be covered

Place into the oven for 18 minutes. DO NOT OVER BAKE! I promise they will not look like they are done. In fact, my first batch I baked for a couple more minutes and my brownie bites were HARD AS A ROCK! Do not OVER Bake...I repeat do not over bake!

Cool for at least 30 minutes before tasting. ENJOY!

The Final Look

Easy, Healthy, Dessert

This summer Kevin and I have been really focused on eating better. However we still feel that we need "dessert" after every meal. This is a really hard habit to kick. So I am trying to find healthier, lower calorie desserts to have just to quinch our taste buds.

A few weeks ago I was at my friend, Julie's and she made these for breakfast. I thought excellent! Why had I not thought of this? I mean I always go through McDonalds to buy these but why have I not been making these?

Fruit Parfaits (approx 130-150 calories per dessert)

Items Needed:
Light and Fit Vanilla Yogart, Fresh Strawberries, Fresh Blueberries, and Granola

*Not sure why these next two photos are not rotating. O'well I have tried 4 times and I am giving up. These are so easy that even my sous chef, Zachary can make them. I used 1/2 cup of yogart, then layered the fruit, added another 1/2 cup of yogart, and topped with more fruit. You can also add the granola in the layers if you wish.

Here is another sideways photos of the finished parfaits in the fridge waiting for my husband to arrive home from work. The colder the better!
