One Trader Joe's item that always intrigued me was the reduced guilt brownie mix (about $3 if I remember correctly, but we bought it a while ago). Fat free "healthy" brownies? Brownies that you can make in a single serving size in the microwave if you choose? A brownie mix so simple that all you have to do is add yogurt? I like brownies. Sign me up.
We were originally going to make single serving brownies over time, but ended up scrapping that plan and making the whole thing at once. A box of brownie mix plus some vanilla yogurt were the only ingredients needed.
I was skeptical when I started mixing that small amount of yogurt into the box of brownie mix about whether this would work, but after a bit of stirring, there was a nice thick batter.
We filled up a cake pan, popped it in the oven, and a short time later, the brownies were done!
Except... they didn't really rise very much. It looked more like chocolate cake. But for something so quick and easy (and healthy), it wasn't bad. It had a nice chocolate flavor.
Buy Again? Maybe, since it's a healthier option for brownies or a chocolate dessert, but if we're looking for traditional brownies, this probably wouldn't satisfy the craving. It's not like you can replicate a brownie with tons of butter and fattening stuff with a fat-free yogurt based brownie mix.
