Halloween treats don't get any cuter. Weight Watchers made these mini so you can pop one in your mouth and still have a little candy!
"Brownie Cupcake Bites!"

Prep time: 10 min
Cook time: 12 min
Other time: 0 min
Serves: 36
Ingredients:
21 oz regular brownie dry mix
1/2 cup(s) water
1/2 cup(s) unsweetened applesauce
2 item(s) (large) egg white(s), lightly beaten
2 cup(s) lite whipped topping
1 3/4 oz candy corn, 36 pieces
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350ºF. Line 36 mini muffin tin holes with mini cupcake wrappers. In a large mixing bowl, combine brownie mix, water, applesauce and egg whites. Mix 50 times with a wooden spoon (use 50 strokes); do not under mix. Pour brownie mixture into prepared muffin tins, about 1 tablespoon per hole. Bake cupcakes until a tester inserted in center of a cupcake comes out clean, about 12 minutes. Remove from oven and cool completely; remove cupcakes from pan. Before serving, decorate each cooled cupcake with a tablespoon dollop of whipped topping and 1 piece of candy corn.
Yields 1 cupcake per serving.
Notes:
If you're not a fan of candy corn, get festive with orange and black sprinkles (could affect PointsPlus values).

This Week in Meetings:
"Winning Weight-Loss Actions!" (Behaviors)
October's Theme - Levels of Change
Even small-scale moves can have a big (and positive) impact. There's something about the crisp air of early autumn that makes it not easy, exactly, but certainly more natural to take on the task of switching up some of your less-helpful eating and exercise behaviors. The timing is good, too: Halloween, Thanksgiving, and, let's face it, the entire month of December are just around the corner. Start now to make a little change here, a little change there, and you'll be bonded with your healthy new behaviors before those end-of-year challenges hit. This week in meetings, we'll discuss tips and strategies that can help you get on the right track!

"The Levels of Change"
Week of Oct. 5-11, 2014: "Be the Boss of Your Own World!"
Being the BOSS of your own world -- how does THAT sound? It's YOUR turf, Make it work for you. Our environment isn't just where we live and work -- it's also the people in our lives, the situations we face, the activities we do, and the trips we take. This week in the meeting room, we'll identify where we struggle to make healthy choices and zero in on how to make changes
that can help keep us on track!

PointsPlus Value per serving: 5
Prep time: 10 min
Cook time: 65 min
Other time: 0 min
Serves: 6
Juicy, sweet and flavorful. A drizzle of vanilla yogurt and scattering of crunchy pecans is a delicious finishing touch.
Ingredients
6 medium fresh apple(s), Golden Delicious-variety
3/4 cup(s) raisins, chopped, or a combination of dried fruit bits*
1 cup(s) apple cider
2 Tbsp maple syrup
1/4 cup(s) low fat vanilla yogurt
2 Tbsp chopped pecans, toasted
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F.Cut a thin slice across bottom and top of apples. Use a melon baller or sharp knife and spoon to core apples, making sure not to go all the way through to the bottom. Stuff each apple with 2 tablespoons raisins or dried fruit. Place apples in a baking pan. In a small bowl, combine cider and maple syrup; pour around apples. Bake, basting thoroughly with pan juices every 10 minutes, until apples are soft and cooked through, about 55 to 65 minutes total. Before serving, drizzle apples with pan sauce, yogurt and pecans. Yields 1 apple, 2 teaspoons yogurt and 1 teaspoon pecans per serving.
Notes
*Most supermarkets carry dried fruit bits but in a pinch feel free to substitute an equal amount of diced dried apricots, raisins, currants, cranberries, cherries, or whatever dried fruit you have on hand.
