Weight Watchers Dessert Recipes
One of the things I love about the Weight Watchers program is that you don’t have to give up dessert.
I’ve lost 100 pounds and have been maintaining for over a decade, and I still enjoy sweets several times per week. I love finding desserts that are low in points but full of sweet satisfaction.
I especially love this dessert because it’s the perfect combination of sweet and salty in one tasty dessert. The individual portions help, too, so I’m not tempted to eat the whole thing.
