Best Flavor: Devil’s food cake mix is CLEARLY a classic choice. (Hello?! Yum Yum Brownie Muffins!) But spice cake mix… WOW. Yellow and white cake mixes, sadly, do not work as well.
The Texture: Thick and dense in the BEST possible way. Brownie-like, in the case of the devil’s food; the spice cake reminded us of pumpkin bread!
The Taste: No one would ever guess this is guilt-free in any way. It’s delicious!

Best Flavor Combo: Yellow cake mix + diet cream soda. Runners-up include lemon cake mix + diet lemon-lime soda and devil’s food cake mix + diet cherry cola.
The Texture: Moist and light.
The Taste: Pretty darn impressive! However, if you’re sensitive to the sweetener in diet soda, you may notice a slight aftertaste… especially if you use cola of any kind.

Are you ready for a fun challenge? We DARE you to test our Vanillalicious Cafe Freeze against Starbucks’ Caffè Vanilla Frappuccino Blended Coffee. Do it! We think our version actually tastes BETTER that the one from The ‘Bucks. But we’re not going to waste time blabbing about it – we’re going to show you how to make it! Now dust off that blender and get to work! (One quick thing, though. If you take the challenge and DO think Starbucks’ version is better, it’s probably not a good idea to finish it.)

We’re always up for eating breakfast items that taste like dessert (woohoo!). And sweet, cheese-packed crepes with a buttery crisp make us as giddy as squirrels in a convenience store. One key ingredient in our crazy-calorie-saving recipe swap is Melissa’s ready-to-use Crepes. These super-skinny wraps are sweet and delicious and contain just about 50 calories each! (Pssst… Most other brands of dessert crepes — which are located in the produce section — have similar stats. Frieda’s Crepes are a bit smaller, but also work great.) Check out this too-easy recipe!
