Pillsbury Brownie Minis is a brownie mix that requires only water and contains only 150 calories per serving. I was sent some to try out, and I have to confess, I assumed they would taste like sometihng from the Easy Bake oven since you only have to add water.

But, oh my they were good!

Like it says, you just add water, mix it and go. The box even includes two six-count baking trays for portion control as well as convenience.

They are going to be available this June in Chocolate Fudge and Milk Chocolate. These will be great to keep around for when your kid tells you at midnight about the bake sale in the morning, or for your young chef to make "all by himself".

Pillsbury has also introduced Easy Frost Icing, tub icing in an aerosol can. It's advertised as "no fuss" and I tried it even though I never really considered canned frosting to be that much of a fuss while you're using it (maybe while you're eating it).

But, you know what? It really did make things simpler when we used it on cupcakes. It's got a 5 star frosting tip so you can make some designs if you are so inclined. We didn't try this, but you can insert the tip into an unfrosted cupcake and fill the inside of it.

The icing delicious and really creamy. I think it's a little different consistency that what you'd find in a tub, a little creamier, and though I was a skeptic at first, I can see where it's handy to have around as long as you can keep from squirting it in your mouth all the time.

Easy Frost comes in three delicious flavors: Decadent Chocolate Fudge, Vanilla Dream, and Velvety Cream Cheese.
