Denny's Hot Fudge Brownie A La Mode

Take out:
This Denny's dessert makes me wonder why we never see pictures of this Denny guy LOL. With 997 calories & 32g of fat (3.5g trans fat), this dessert is an entire day's worth of points (22 Weight Watcher Points).

Fake out:
Here's how we fake it out- We replace the brownie with 100 calorie Vitabrownie (heat in microwave for 30 seconds). Then we replace the vanilla ice cream with Edy's Slow Churned rich & creamy vanilla frozen yogurt blend. And we replace hot fudge with Smucker's sugar free hot fudge topping heated in the microwave & poured over top. Lastly, you top off with some Cool Whip Free. Can make this in under 2 minutes- No Baking required.

Nutrition totals per serving:
