125 Calorie Cream Cheese Brownies

Yes, they do exist. And, yes, they are delish! 

I wouldn't call them HEALTHY, but they are definitely HEALTHIER than normal brownies. 

To boast just a few of their benefits, they: 

• Taste deliciously fudgy! No flavor compromises here. 
• Have 100 calories LESS per serving than their non-modified counterparts.                                ONLY 125 CALORIES! You won't believe it, but its true. 
• 1/3 less fat and 1/2 the carbs compared to your typical cream cheese brownies. 
• Umm, cream cheese... need I say more? 

(And, yes, I did eat one for breakfast - as if you even had to ask! *grin*)
