Frozen Whoopie Pie

This is a combination of my guilty pleasures from childhood- icebox cakes and mixing Cool Whip and hot cocoa powder.  Recipe below makes 4 pies, multiply as needed.  Each whoopie pie has 2 Points+.  Note:  I've never had a real whoopie pie, but I'd imagine it would taste like this if frozen!

Ingredients:
8 chocolate wafers (I used Nabisco Famous)
1/2 cup Fat Free Cool Whip, thawed
1 packet Fat-Free hot cocoa mix (I used Nestle Fat Free Rich Milk Chocolate- it's really good!)

Mix Cool Whip and hot cocoa mix.  Divide the mixture on four of the wafers and cover with the remaining four.  Freeze until firm, about 2 hours.

You can omit the hot cocoa mix if you don't want the flavor.  This does not change the Points+ value.
My house is still standing after a hurricane?  This calls for a celebratory treat!

Chocolate

I am a chocoholic.  It is my biggest weakness.  

I always have to keep something on hand that will satisfy my chocolate desires 
without ruining my weight loss.

Here are my top 4 choices, in no particular order:

Fiber One 90 Calorie Brownie
These brownies are individually wrapped, and clock in at 2 Points+ each.  
They are a decent size, and they have chocolate chips in them!  
Not as good as a homemade brownie, but close enough!

Weight Watchers Dark Chocolate Turtle
Dark chocolate with pecan pieces, how can you go wrong!  It's on the small side, but it definitely does the job when you need a little something sweet for 2 Points+!

Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk + 
Hershey's Lite Syrup
There are times when I crave chocolate milk.  The creaminess of the almond milk plus the syrup does the trick!  1 cup almond milk + 4 tbsp syrup = 3 Points!

Weight Watchers Chocolate Caramel Bar
These are small, too, but they are very dense.  
If you take a big bite, you'll look like Mr. Ed.
2 Points+ each, and worth it!
