Quick and Easy Treat For One

My kids love having a little treat after dinner. While I don't mind them having one, it's not something that I always have in the house. My husband doesn't really like sweets or dessert (yes, really!) and so when we have extras around, I always end up eating it. It's hard to find the right balance between having treats in the house and eating all of those treats. When we had the chance to review Duncan Hines Perfect Size for 1, it sounded like the perfect option for our family.

Duncan Hines Perfect Size for 1 is available in 18 different varieties, including flavors that work for breakfast, afternoon, or evening. The Sunrise line is great for morning, while the decadent varieties are perfect as an afternoon or evening treat. Each box contains 4 individual packages, which each contain a single-serving portion of cake mix. It's quick and easy to make in an 8-ounce coffee mug in just one minute. There's no mess, leftovers, or waste – you mix, cook, and eat right out of the same mug. The Perfect Size for 1 can be made with any liquid, including coffee, juice, milk, water, and even liquor, so you can definitely customize the flavor. In addition, you can a mix in toppings like fruit, nuts, and coconut.

We received the Chocolate Lovers Cake, which is exactly what my son would have picked out. He loves anything chocolate. It's a delicious cake, with a deep chocolatey taste as well as a great texture. My kids loved mixing their own cake – I just did one final mix to make sure there was no powder remaining. For their first cake, they both opted to stick with the cake as is, with just water.

After that first cake, they were a bit more adventurous, and used milk. We also added a few chocolate chips, although the cake itself really is very chocolatey. My son said that it reminds him of hot chocolate in a cake.
