Easy Weight Watchers Friendly Chocolate Chip Snack Cake

Skinny Chocolate Chip Snack Cake

Here's a great quick and easy chocolate cake made Weight Watchers friendly with just 4 PointsPlus value. Moist and delicious, this easy chocolate chip snack cake begins with a 9-ounce box of chocolate cake mix (the kind designed to make 12 cupcakes) and bakes in an 8-inch square pan, perfect when you want a little cake. (If you can't find a 9 ounce cake mix, just use half of a regular 18.25-ounce box instead.)

Remember those quick and easy stir together Betty Crocker cake mixes from the 1970s that even included inside the box a cardboard pan to bake it in? They were called Snackin' Cake and came in a variety of flavors. I loved Snackin' Cake 🙂
