Have your cake and eat it too

I can't help having a soft spot in my heart for a good piece of chocolate cake even though it can get a really bad rep! I will admit cakes tend to be loaded with sugar, fat, and calories. The trash talk is warranted, but there's no need to give up your chocolate cake just yet.

A tasty, low-cal and low-fat chocolate cake alternative is tucked away on the bottom shelf at your local grocery store in the cake aisle.

These are great because they take four different spins on chocolate cake; dark chocolate, chocolate, caramel, and raspberry. It's easy to switch it up! Plus, the cakes come prepackaged, so there's automatic portion control.

Betty Crocker Mini's make it possible to enjoy a guilt free, chocolate cake experience.
