3 PointsPlus values per serving
Ingredients


1 oz chocolate wafer(s), about 5 cookies   

1/4 tsp mint extract   

1 tsp unsweetened cocoa   

7 oz fat-free whipped topping, about 1 whole aerosol can   
  1/4 cup(s) fat-free skim milk   

3 piece(s) Weight Watchers by Whitman's Mint patties, frozen, chopped   

2 Tbsp chocolate syrup   

6 Tbsp whipped topping, light or fat-free, vanilla or chocolate   
Instructions
Line six muffin holes with foil muffin liners.


In a blender, combine wafers, extract, cocoa, fat-free whipped topping and milk; blend until completely combined. Divide mixture among prepared muffin liners; freeze for at least 2 hours.


Just before serving, top each with 1/6 of mint patties, 1 teaspoon chocolate syrup and 1 tablespoon whipped topping. Yields 1 dessert per serving.

Notes
• This easy chocolate dessert can be made in several flavors. For a pure chocolate treat, replace the mint extract with chocolate or vanilla extract and swap the mint patties for an ounce of mini chocolate chips (could affect PointsPlus values).
