My daughter's teacher recently started WW points +, and I would like to make her a treat for valentine's day for her to eat as the kids pile brownies, cookies, etc into their mouths during the class party. I have never done WW and have no clue. Anyone have a tried and true treat?

    How about these?

    I done Weight Watchers before they changed from Points to ProPoints and meringues were always very low in points...

    Hope this helps! :)

    The most popular is the pumpkin & cake mix. You take 1 can of pumpkin (not the pie filling) and mix thoughouly with any flavor cake mix. (chocolate will taste like a brownie). Do not add any other ingredients, only those two. Bake according to the directions of the cake mix. It will not rise like a "normal" cake. It will be very moist and dense. My non dieting family LOVES this. I make if often. Experiement with flavors. A white/yellow cake will obviously take on the color of the pumpkin, but it will not taste like it. I put mine in a lage square pan to make them thicker like cake. Depending on the size of peice, they are 1 to 2 points in the WW world. Hope this helps.

    I like the WW pineapple cake. Mix one box angel food cake mix with 1 can crushed pineapple in juice. Do not add any extra water, eggs, or anything. Bake as directed. Serve with light cool whip.

    Hi, and you can join the mailing list and go to The Hungry Girl website. http://www.hungry-girl.com/

    All of Lisa's information about food and recipes that relate to the real world are reflective of WW points so there is so much to choose from.

    I haven't tried it yet but she talks all the time about making cupcakes from chocolate cake mix and a 15 ounce can of Libby's pumpkin. 5 points per cupcake. Do a recipe search on the site, good luck and ENJOY!!!

    Thanks for all the ideas. So far I think the Chocolate Chip Meringue Cookies will be perfect for this occasion :-)
