Product Endorsement...Warm Delights Minis

No, I am not getting paid for this...although, all of you who blog regularly are probably aware of sites out there that you can sign up with, receive blogging "assignments" to blog about a certain topic or product for a certain number of words, and receive payment for that blog upon verification. I don't do that.

BUT! I bought something yummy and wonderful from the store last night...Betty Crocker Warm Delights Minis. I saw it in three flavors, Molten Chocolate Cake, Molten Caramel Cake and Raspberry Decadence.

It's cake mix and the topping (fudge, caramel or raspberry) in a plastic container. You dump out the cake mix, mix in 1 Tb plus 1tsp water, stir together, squeeze the fudge over the top and put in the microwave for 30 seconds, let sit for a couple of minutes to cool and voila! You have freshly "baked" cake in a portion-controlled container ready to eat!

The best part is, only 150 calories per container!

Prep time: About 2 minutes
Cook time: 30 seconds plus 2 minutes to cool
Ready to eat in about 5 minutes!

It was $1.92 at WalMart and each container comes with a 75 cents off coupon for two more Warm Delights Minis (each one come in a pack of two, so you would get 4 portions)

I was left wanting more at the end....but makes me wonder, if that much was 150 calories...how many calories are in the slices of cake I would normally cut myself?!?!?! Wow, no wonder why Americans are so overweight in general. We have lost sight of what a portion really is.

Bottom line: Yummy, although with a little prep, and a great tool to learn (or remember!) what a true portion really is!
