Substitute for Nuts

If your family loves the crunch of nuts in brownies and chocolate chip cookies, but someone is allergic to them, add granola or crisp rice cereal in the same amounts as the nuts called for in your recipes. But, always check the granola or cereal packages for nut allergy alerts to be certain.

Sweet White Wine

Enjoy this recipe with a sweet white wine such as Moscato or a sweet Riesling.

It sounds very good, but to save on all those extra calories, what about using sugar free pudding and either sugar free whipped topping or light. I might try that. I will post my opinion later.

Making the whole dessert from scratch might indeed be healthier, but some people, due to time constraints, do not have the time do all that. I frankly don't care for the taste of whipped cream, and it is an awful lot of added calories on top of the brownie.

Making your own brownie mix and pudding is less expensive and will have a whole lot less unkind ingredients used to perserve the package as it sets on the shelf. Real whipping cream tastes a whole lot better too.
