Glazed Brownies

Glazed Brownies

I wouldn't be able to survive on Weight Watchers or a diet of any kind if I couldn't have a sweet. Now, there are quite a few store bought options out there that do the trick. Skinny Cow and Weight Watchers both make some yummy chocolate treats and ice cream desserts that really hit the spot. However, they don't accomodate so well with my budget. They aren't cheap. I found that I can make a whole pan of brownies, each one being only 3 points a piece, and it costs SO much less than buying a couple boxes of those treat every week. And these are good! We love them! I have made a pan a week for the last 4 or 5 weeks, and we save up our points so that we can afford to have one, sometimes two, at night when watching tv before we go to bed. Super yummy!!!
