Mint Fudge Brownies Trifle – Lightened-up dessert with layers upon sweet layers of Mint Fudge Brownies and a deliciously creamy yogurt and cream cheese filling.
Hey Hey, Friends!
Whaddya doin’?
What am I doing, you ask?
Oh. Not much. Just chomping away on some Mint Fudge Brownies and getting ready for the 21st of January – the annual tradition of my NYE Resolution to eat healthy. Or healthier. The ladder is doable. Besides, my birthday is on the 20th, and there’s no way I’m giving up my slice of cake, so that’s that.
Wanna know what’s really on my mind? I’ll tell you anyways!
Sometimes in my daydreams I develop spectacular desserts, and when I go to actually make said dessert, it almost always works.
A few days ago I made Mint Fudge Brownies Trifles, and much to my surprise, strawberry yogurt and mint chocolate, together (!?!), are darn good!!
No. Really. It was so good that I had to call my Mom over to come and take the rest away from me. I made six… just in case.
But, in my defense, these brownies are actually Fiber One’s 90-calorie Brownies, so no harm done.
Have you had one of Fiber One’s brownies? They are downright deeeelicious! One of my absolute go-to’s at 3 a.m. Err! P.M.!
It’s a moist, rich treat without the guilt. Thank goodness! Also, they are a perfect addition to simple desserts that will satisfy cravings without too many calories.
Instead of a run on the treadmill, or even making dinner, OR doing laundry (EW!), go make these Trifles. It takes minutes to put them together and seconds to inhale them.
Don’t worry, it’s all around 185 calories per serving. Bam!
ENJOY!

I keep eyeing those Fiber One brownies, but I’m afraid that I’ll instantly become addicted to them. Of course with your drool-worthy recipe, I have the perfectly legitimate excuse to pick up a box!
Those brownies are really good, but the cookie/blondie version is my favorite. They’re totally one of my guilty pleasures.
These trifles look gorgeous! Strawberry makes sense, too. it goes with chocolate and it goes with mint, so why not with mint chocolate? 😉
So next time I skip the gym to eat dessert instead I can tell them it was you who told me so? 🙂
oh my, I’d much rather have these over working out hahah
I love how yummy and simple this looks! And happy birthday if I don’t visit before then. 🙂
These look amazing. They’d be so perfect for a party!
What a delicious way to sneak in your fiber! Happy almost Birthday!
A great way to get your sweet on without the guilt! Enjoy your birthday cake!!
Mint and fudge…it just doesn’t get any better than that! I hope you have a fantastic birthday and enjoy your slice of cake.
I’d take a vow to eat healthy all year long if I could eat this every day. Wow. Gimme! Pinned.
Haha I love the skipping the laundry for dessert part.
Does the strawberry actually give it a strawberry taste? Not a huge fan of the strawberry flavor in some stuff, wondering if it would work well with vanilla instead. Looks like a nice light dessert!
Hi Betsy! It’s a hint of strawberry, but you can most definitely use other flavors. I liked it with vanilla, too. It’s a light dessert and it satisfies that sweet tooth! 😀
That’s great to know thanks!
