This is Weight Watchers friendly.


Ingredients:

1 box Spice cake mix
15 oz can of pumpkin
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips


Instructions:

Do not add the eggs, oil, etc that the cake mix tells you to add. Mix the pumpkin and cake mix well. Mix in chocolate chips and fill the each muffin full (They barely expand). Bake for 18-22 minutes in a 350 degrees.

M walked in and stole a muffin when I wasn't looking. He stopped mid chew and handed it back to me. He hated them and I LOVE them. They are delish and so moist, even my bff loved them. I can't believe all you need is a can of pumpkin and a box of cake and that's it. Chocolate chips are optional but always delicious to add.

Peppermint Hot Chocolate

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups heavy cream
1 1/2 cups milk
1/4 cup sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt
6 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
3 drops peppermint oil
Sweetened whipped cream, for garnish
Chocolate shavings, for garnish

Directions:

In a saucepan, combine the cream, milk, sugar, and salt and heat over medium-low heat. When the cream mixture just begins to steam, add the chopped chocolate, and stir, until melted. Stir in the peppermint oil. Divide the hot chocolate among mugs and top with whipped cream and chocolate shavings.

I love peppermint and chocolate anything. I love this recipe during the winter and I add a peppermint stick in it at the end for company. I use only 1 cup of heavy cream and use 2 to 2 1/2 cups of skim milk, it is a little too rich and thick for my taste.
