Disclaimer: Please note that I claim none of these recipes as my own but only that I wanted to share them with anyone who was interested. I saw these recipes in my Redbook Magazine for February 2015 by Hungry Girl Lisa Lillien. Please enjoy them!

Recipe 1: Crazy-easy Cannoli Cone

Mix 1/4 cup of light/lowfat Ricotta Cheese, 1 no-calorie sweetener packet (like Truvia), and 1/8 TSP of Vanilla Extract until combined. Stir in 1 TSP of Mini Semisweet Chocolate Chips. Spoon mixture into a sugar cone (the pointy kind, not the flat-bottomed variety), and top with 1/2 TSP of Chocolate Chips.

Recipe 2: Almond Kiss Crunchettes

Place 15 frozen Mini Phyllo Shells on a baking sheet. Bake at 350F until Kisses are hot and soft, about 3 minutes. Immediately (and carefully) press a roasted almond into the center of each chocolate-filled shell.

Recipe 3: Chocolate Caramel Muffins

In a large bowl, combine a box of Devil's Food Cake Mix with 1 (15 oz) can of Pure Pumpkin until completely smooth and uniform. (The batter will be thick, but don't add anything else) Scoop batter into a 12-cup muffin pan sprayed with nonstick spray. Press a cube of chewy caramel halfway into the center of each muffin, and smooth batter over the top. Bake at 400F until a toothpick inserted into a muffin (avoiding the caramel) comes out mostly clean, about 20 minutes. Let cool slightly and sprinkle 1 TSP of powdered sugar over muffins.
