Weight Watchers Chocolate Cake with Chocolate Icing
By: | Jun 2, 2006
These Weight Watchers mini chocolate cakes taste so good that it is hard to eat just one. The chocolate cake is soft and sweet, with chocolate icing on top. In fact, the icing is also very sweet (in fact, sugar is the first ingredient on the label). One of these mini cakes has 80 calories, 3 grams total fat and 1 gram saturated fat (5% of the daily values), and 10 grams of sugars (and 1 WW point). Like I said when I reviewed Snackwells Black Forest Cookie Cakes, cookies, cakes and chips will never really be a healthy snack. Even though companies may reduce the calories to make it not-so-bad, they have no nutritional value. This is one reason that I think Weight Watchers snacks should be more than 1 point. I'm thinking they should be at least 2 points.
One box has 6 individually wrapped cakes, and may I suggest that you do not eat any at home, because the temptation will be too great to have another one. Take one to work with you, so that way, all you can eat is one.
One package costs $2.87. The label reveals at least 30 ingredients in the Weight Watchers Chocolate Cake, starting with sugars, so this cake is highly processed. However, it certainly is tasty, and not a bad way to satisfy a chocolate craving. Remember, if you're going to indulge, then try to control your portion and not eat more than one at a time.

These are pretty tasty. If they were made by little debbie, with the same nutritional information, they would not "seem" as healthy, but I guess the weight watcher name promotes the healthy image despite it just being a small snack cake. Anything with 80 calories and only a few grams of fat is "One Point"!
These look yummy. I will have to try them!
These are very good and satisfy the urge for a sweet. They also come in carrot cake which are also great. They now go for $4.00 a box of 6 which I feel is very expensive
Just for the record, Zingers are 200 calories and 8 grams of fat for just one cake. The Weight Watchers snack cakes are a much better alternative.
I had these cakes recently and love them. A friend of mine let me try them, but I cannot find them anywhere. Does anyone know where I can buy these gems? Thanx
I'm confused by the points value on the mimi cakes. If you use your points finder at 80 calories 3 grams of fat and 2 grams of fiber it comes to 2 points please help explain?
These things are tiny, but they are delicious!
I havent tried these before, however i have tried a number of the weight watchers snacks which have been pretty good. I will have to give these a try.
