As a lifetime member of Weight Watchers, I know that a pan of brownies in the house can easily lead to a pan of brownies in my belly. What I love about No Pudge is that you can make a single serving. Directions are on the box. I mix two tablespoons of my favorite lowfat yogurt (the BEST is Axelrod black cherry - which makes this a Black Forest brownie) with 1/4 cup No Pudge mix and pop it in the micro for two minutes. This is a double brownie. The single brownie is too dinkie to satisfy me. Then I slather the rest of the yogurt over the brownie. The creamy yogurt mixes through the chewy brownie and is my hands down favorite send my belly to bed happy nighttime snack. 5 weight watchers points with the double serving and yogurt.

Trader Joe's has been carrying the No Pudge Brownie mixes for over a decade and it's not unusual to see customers buying them by the case. At the current price of $15.55 for 6 that makes them $2.59 a pack if you have Amazon prime or use Super Saver Free shipping and that's not a bad deal. What mnakes these brownies so popular is that all you have to add is yogurt. I add Vanilla Nonfat yogurt and sometimes I'll toss in two tablespoons of instant coffee of espresso powder to jazz them up. You don't need butter or eggs - just the yogurt. Once you do that, you stir 'em up, pour 'em in the pan and in no time you have delicious brownies! They aren't as ooey-gooey as some mixes but that's what I like about them. They also aren't cloyingly sweet. They are simply a nice, fudgey brownie that you don't have to feel too guilty about eating. I always keep a couple packages in the pantry to whip up for unexpected company or for whenever that chocolate craving hits you out of nowhere. The best thing about No Pudge Fudge Brownies is that they are easy to mix, quick to cook and they always come out to be the same good and fudgey brownie you are longing for. Keep some on hand at all times!

My husband and I are crazy about these brownies! They are fresh and ready to eat in no time at all with a chewy, gooey, chocolate-y flavor. I like to add a scoop of Frozen Cherry Yogurt to the top of the still-warm brownie.

Did I tell you how easy they are to mix-up? The package is complete. You just add some yogurt. And the best part...it's easy to just mix enough for a couple of brownies and then pop them in the microwave. That's if you don't want to mix up (and probably eat) the whole pan at once.

I also like the packaging for these. The boxes stand up easily in my pantry and because of the hot pink color they are always very easy to find. These are a wonderful treat that you really don't have to feel bad about enjoying. I give them 4 stars only because I think they are a bit pricey...but then, as we all know, usually you get what you pay for. Recommended!

Don't listen to o'l Kevin up above. These aren't just good fat free brownies...these are good brownies period. In fact, they are the best I've ever had. When my wifre made them and told me they were fat free, I was thinking "ok here we go - these are going to taste bad". I couldn't believe it when I took a bite. I thought she was playing a trick on me and made another batch of real brownies and gave them to me. Once I tried them, she couldn't get the pan away from me. Amazing. You will love them. As for Kevin - there are something wrong with your taste buds bro. Get it checked out.

I don't typically buy foods that are advertised as non-fat for precisely the reasons that a previous reviewer mentioned--they're gummy, barely taste like what they're supposed to taste like, and just generally disgusting. I also don't like fat-free foods because of all the chemicals and added sugar that usually goes into them to give them something resembling their full-fat texture.

This product really is different from all those other fat-free products, though, and I genuinely enjoy it. The ingredients are all things I typically would keep in my cupboard without feeling the need for a biohazard sticker on the door (if only I had time to bake).

The fact that one can make an easy single-serving brownie in the microwave is an added bonus for all of us who don't live with a big family of people who will eat our homemade creations, or who simply don't have time to make a pan of homemade brownies. I concede that these are not as good as a gourmet fudge brownie, but they are precisely what I'd hoped they'd be when I got them: yummy, quick, easy, economical, and above all chocolatey.

My favorite serving suggestion: drop a few chocolate chips in the cup before putting them in to bake.

These are by far the best fat-free desert out there! I am a pleased to say we order these cases two at a time! My kids love to make them,and take them to school. No pudge rocks!!

These brownies really taste like brownies and they dont wreck your diet if you dont eat the whole box at a sitting! I make them in the mini muffin tins and put 2-3 at a time in zip lock baggies to help me to enjoy them in moderation. Brownies are my favorite chocolate snack food and these are very sweet, chewy and satisfy my chocolate cravings.

No Pudge brownies are AMAZING. They truly taste just as good as brownies with all the lovely fat in them. These are all natural, too--as in, the ingredients are few, and consist of normal things you have in your pantry. No 15+ letter chemicals here. All you need to add is 5 1/2 oz fat-free french vanilla yogurt. These brownies come out VERY chewy, so if you like yours softer, double the amount of yogurt. And check out their website for other recipe ideas!

Seriously--you're not going to buy six boxes only to find out they taste like cardboard. They're FAT free, not sugar and taste free. You will want to tell everyone you know that this mix exists! Delicious!!

I am currently on Weight Watchers, and originally saw people raving about these brownies on the message boards there. I decided to try them out, and they were AMAZING. You just add fat free vanilla yogurt (or even water, applesauce, or sour cream if you have no yogurt at the time), bake and ENJOY!! I got the original version, and then added a tsp of mint and they were AMAZING. Super chocolatey & chewy and there are a number of ways to tweak the recipe to your liking--like adding shredded coconut, bailey's, caramel sauce, etc. I will say over $5/ box is kinda pricey, but they are hard to find at a lot of grocery stores, so this might be your best bet. The 6-packs are a very good deal, so I would recommend that over the single box....trust me, it will be worth it!!!

It was 11 pm on a Monday. Someone sent me an e-mail detailing the waffles and berry sauce she was going to prepare for a weekend brunch. My mouth began to water just as I was getting ready to head to bed. Darn it!

A subletter in my student apartment had left No Pudge brownie mix in my cabinet, and when I came back from the summer break, I almost threw out the box when I saw it. I typically don't buy anything low-fat or non-fat, as I prefer to recognize the ingredients in whatever food I purchase and eat. (The "everything in moderation" motto of my 88-year-old grandmother has worn off. For my healthy under-30-year-old self, a little butter is fine in a fruit and veggie-rich diet short on processed foods.)

Anyway, there was nothing around to satisfy my sudden must-have-chocolate attack. The pink box called out to me from the back of the cabinet, and I winced. No Ghirardelli in sight. Low-fat chocolate? Well, if I must. I figured the brownies would be horrible but satisfy a craving, and that I could then pitch the rest of the pan.

Not the case! The craving hit at 10:55 pm, and I was cutting the brownies (having added *regular* Brown Cow plain yogurt with a tsp+ of natural vanilla) at 11:40. They were really good warm. The next day, completely cooled, they were even better! I actually think that that chocolate taste of these is much better than any brownie mix I've ever encountered. With the yogurt I used, the consistency was more cake-like than chewy, but I'll deal with that minor shortcoming. These were awesome, and I'll be buying a supply of my own!
