Low-Cal Cupcakes?

I posted this in another thread, but am reposting for you.

I decided to make these tonight after watching HG's show Saturday on chocolate goodies. These are delicious! As she did on the show, I poured the batter from the bowl into a pourable measuring cup to fill the cupcakes. Couldn't be easier! Just note that you only use 1/2 the box of cake mix. Gee, guess I need to make these again since I have 1/2 a box of cake left!!

CHOCOLATE MARSHMALLOW MADNESS CUPCAKES

1 packet 25-calorie hot cocoa mix
1/2 (18 1/4-ounce) box devil's food cake mix (about 1 3/4 cups)
1/2 cup fat-free liquid egg substitute
1 tablespoon no-calorie granulated sweetener (recommended: Splenda) or granulated sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt

GLAZE:
1/4 cup jet-puffed marshmallow creme
1 teaspoon light vanilla soymilk

TOPPING:
1 tablespoon mini semi-sweet chocolate chips, plus more, for optional garnish
12 mini marshmallows, plus more for garnish, optional

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with foil baking cups and/or spray with nonstick spray.

For the cupcakes:
In a tall glass, combine cocoa mix with 2 ounces hot water. Stir until cocoa dissolves. Add 6 ounces cold water and stir well.

In a large mixing bowl, combine cake mix, egg substitute, sweetener, and salt. Add cocoa mixture and whisk until smooth.

Evenly distribute cake mixture among the prepared muffin cups.

Bake in the oven for about 15 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean. Remove from oven and let cool.

To make the glaze:

Put the marshmallow creme in a small dish. Add soymilk and mix well.

Once the cupcakes have cooled completely, drizzle marshmallow glaze over them. Top each cupcake with 1/4 teaspoon chocolate chips and one mini marshmallow.

Refrigerate until ready to serve. Garnish the cupcakes with additional chocolate chips and marshmallows, if using.

Why not just have one, truly awesome regular cupcake and not worry about how many calories it has?

I made Hungry Girl Brownies for my Super Bowl party this past weekend and everyone loved them! I simply added 1 can of pumpkin to a box of Devils Food cake mix, poured into a mini muffin pan, baked at 400F for 12 minutes and ooeey gooey perfection! each brownie bite has about 60 calories or 1 regular muffin about 180. I was so impressed by how good they taste that I tried it with muffins last night. I bought whole grain banana nut mix, added 1 cup of pumpkin, and this morning had one for breakfast - only 160 yummy moist calories Also, for the brownie bites, last night I made them into a 175 calorie dessert. Add 10 raspberries, and some fat free whip cream in a bowl with 3 brownie bites- heaven! Oh and one more tip, if you want some guilt free icing, drizzle some marshmallow fluff on top of the brownies

Mix a box of Red Velvet cake mix with Can of Diet Cherry Dr. Pepper. Bake according to box. Thats it Fabulous!!
