Afternoon Delight

A while back I purchased Betty Crocker Warm Delight Minis in the chocolate raspberry flavor. Today I made one for the first time. They're pretty simple--you just need a tablespoon plus one teaspoon of water to stir into the cake mix. Then you're supposed to swirl the raspberry syrup onto the top, but the raspberry stuff was really thick, like jelly, so it was difficult. A person might find herself giving up and squeezing the raspberry into her mouth. Not that I did that or anything.

You pop it into the microwave and cook it for 30 seconds. I was skeptical that it would be done in such a short amount of time, but it worked. In fact, it was piping hot. The cake had a fairly good consistency--not like a brownie, which was kind of what I was I expecting. The raspberry on top of the chocolate was almost too sweet for me, so I think next time I'll try the chocolate caramel kind instead.

It was kind of expensive for two single servings of cake--I think I paid over two dollars. But if you're like me and you live in a dorm room and you can't bake, it's worth the money. Plus, they're only 150 calories each. Making the mini cake was a lot better for me than the Milky Way I could have eaten.
