Hungry Girl Today: 4.29.08
CHEW THE RIGHT THING
BITE IT!
HG's Death by Chocolate Cupcakes
To Die For!
The brand-new HG cookbook, Hungry Girl: Recipes and Survival Strategies
for Guilt-Free Eating in the Real World, hits stores TODAY. To celebrate,
we're featuring one of our favorite new recipes from it. You'll FLIP for these
super-chocolatey fluffy things...
Ingredients:
2 cups moist-style chocolate cake mix (half of an 18.25-oz. box)
Two 25-calorie packets diet hot cocoa mix
1/2 cup fat-free liquid egg substitute (like Egg Beaters Original)
2 tbsp. semi-sweet mini chocolate chips
1 tsp. Splenda No Calorie Sweetener (granulated)
1/8 tsp. salt
Directions:
Place chocolate chips and the contents of both cocoa packets in a tall glass.
Add 12 ounces of boiling water, and stir until chips and cocoa mix have
dissolved. Place glass in the freezer to chill for 25 minutes. Preheat oven to
350 degrees. Once cocoa has chilled, give it a stir, and mix with all other
ingredients in a mixing bowl. Whip batter with a whisk or fork for 2 minutes.
Spray a 12-cup muffin pan with nonstick spray, or line it with baking cups.
Evenly spoon batter (which will be thin, but don't worry, your cupcakes will
puff up!) into the pan. Place pan in the oven, and bake for 15 minutes.
Cupcakes will look shiny when done. MAKES 12 SERVINGS

FIGHT IT!
Plain Chocolate Cupcake, Average
Cake Mistake
The average unfrosted chocolate cupcake isn't astronomically high in
calories. After all, it isn't enormous, slathered with frosting, or covered with
crazy toppings. But even a single (naked) chocolate cupcake has an average
of over 200 calories and fat grams in the double digits. Not exactly a calorie
bargain, if you ask us! And FYI, if you felt like splurging and ordered the
Triple Chocolate Cupcake at Starbucks, you'd swallow a ridiculous 360
calories and TWENTY grams of fat (POINTS® value 8*). Why do it, when you
can have one of HG's choco-licious cupcakes for a mere 108 calories and two
and a half fat grams? Three cheers for HG's Death by Chocolate Cupcakes
(and our groovy new book)!
