I made a delicious recipe using SPLENDA® Sweeteners as part of a sponsored post for Socialstars #SplendaSweeties #SweetSwaps
These Brownie and Berry Parfaits are a wonderful summer treat. Red, white and blue for the 4th of July! You can count on these being a hit at any BBQ this summer.
It has been so rainy and cold recently in my little neck of the woods. We have loved it so much, especially since my husband is a farmer. That blessed rain will do our crops so much good. And everything is green. I haven’t had to water my lawn in a long time. But now that the sun has come out it is instantly summer and it’s pretty warm today.
I made these cute Brownie and Berry Parfaits using SPLENDA® Sweeteners. The SPLENDA® Sugar Blend gives you the sweetness of sugar without the calories. You use half the amount as you would sugar. In this recipes, it calls for 2 cups of sugar, so I used 1 cup of SPLENDA® Sugar Blend.
Some neighbor kids were over playing outside with my kids and I took these outside to them. You would have thought I just told them it was Christmas. They were so excited to eat these and they were gone in seconds. You can also put the berries, brownies and marshmallows on skewers for extra fun. Everyone loves eating with their hands.
- 1 cup butter, melted
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup SPLENDA® Sugar Blend
- 4 large eggs
- 4 teaspoons vanilla extract
- strawberries
- blueberries
- mini marshmallows
- whipped topping, optional
- Preheat oven to 350° F. Line a 9x13-inch baking dish with foil and spray foil with non-stick spray. Set aside.
- In the bowl of an electric stand-mixer, add the melted butter and cocoa powder. Using the paddle attachment, blend until smooth. You can also use a large mixing bowl and a hand mixer.
- Add the flour and sugar. Mix together and add the eggs and vanilla. Mix until just combined. Don't over mix. (Batter will be thick)
- Pour batter into prepared baking dish and spread out evenly.
- Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
- Let cool 20 minutes and then place in the fridge to cool completely. It makes them easier to cut.
- Cut brownies into bite sized squares.
- Layer brownies, berries and marshmallows in small glasses. Top with whipped topping. You can also skewer them onto wooden skewers, alternating the brownies, berries and marshmallows.
- SPLENDA® Sweeteners is versatile, and can be used in baking, cooking, AND beverage mixing
