I'm Baking A Pan Of Fat-Free Brownies...
... and the whole house smells of chocolate! Mmmm.

Snowy windy cold outside. Warm and cozy and chocolaty inside.

1. Fat Free? Ewwwwwwww.
Some things were meant to be in their "natural" state.

7. You'd think that... but actually, they aren't half bad.
I was surprised the first time I tried them.

9. Don't they still have sugar and lots of calories?
I don't get it.

10. Yes... That's True.
But if you cut a little fat here and a little fat there, then it all adds up over time. And you can indulge with a high-calorie treat every now and again.

Don't get me wrong, these aren't prize-winning brownies. But all things considered, they are mostly guilt-free. :-)

18. They're good.
I posted about those back when I first tried them. They're rich and fudgy, just like regular brownies.

Now I'm going to have to get some. I haven't made them in awhile.

5. Fat Free Brownies? Is that like UV Free sunshine?
non-frozen ice cream?

non-carbonated soda pop?

add your own.

I do bet they smell good! The question is, will they taste good?

15. Love those No Pudge brownies...
Edited on Wed Jan-19-05 07:36 PM by CBHagman
...with the little piggy on the box! Oink, oink!

Hey, arwalden, what's your favorite flavor?

I like eating chunks of No Pudge brownies with Edy's caramel praline crunch frozen yoghurt. I feel wantonly spoiled doing that...

On edit: What's with this DU tendency to find fault with virtually everything other DUers do? I thought we were the party of inclusiveness!
