Pillsbury Sugar Free Brownie Mix.
I had bought a box of Pillsbury sugar free brownie mix. I had it for awhile but finally got around to making it. I like to try new things. As a diabetic, I like to try sugar free or low sugar items. With both, one has to be careful with since sugar free items, sugar free doesn't mean carb free.
I was apprehensive on how long it would take to make it and how well it would taste. I had nothing to worry about. I have made sugar free items - usually sugar free cakes - in the past and they did not come out as well as I had hoped. The were usually too thick.
I should have worried about eating too much at one time. I should have checked the carb count. I guess the taste made me want more than just a serving (that is my excuse and I am standing by it).
Here is the front of the box. I wondered how many times the front of the box was way better than it actually looked when one made it. It was one of the reasons that I bought it. The other reason was because it was sugar free. Another reason was I miss having brownies.
Here is the back of the box with the instructions and variations on the recipe. It wasn't complicated at all. It was way easier than I thought it would be.
I might try the variation. It looks and sounds good too. I will check their website to see if there are any other variations.
This shows the carb and other related information. I should have read this part before eating half of the batch I made. My brother ate the other half of the batch. It shows that sugar free doesn't mean carb free. One has to do portion control when one is a diabetic.
When one does a sugar free item, the results can vary from brand to brand and to what sugar substitute one uses. This came out way better than expected. It was a lot easier to make than I realized it would. It was so good that I put aside good judgement and ate half the batch. I am grateful that my brother ate the other half; otherwise, I would have eaten too.
I took a photo of this site even though it doesn't show a lot. I thought I would include it anyway.
I have been a diabetic since 1989.
