My Final Weight Loss Journey

I love to serve this dessert to dinner guests.  I always prepare the dry ingredients in advance and have the butter melted and ready to go.  Just before serving dinner I put it all together and place the oven to bake.  By the time we have finished dinner it is ready to come out of the oven.  I usually let it set for 45 minutes and people are usually ready for dessert.  Since it is low point I will serve it with a half-cup of Dryer's Sugar-Free Slow Churn Vanilla ice-cream or Cool-Whip Lite!  Very Yummy and Rich!
