When it comes to food, I will admit that I have turned down different foods before because they were labeled as “diet”. For instance, I don’t like any type of diet soda. If it is the only thing to drink available, I would probably go without. I haven’t tried all diet drinks so therefore I might be missing out. Since my family can be a little picky when it comes to diet related foods, I thought it would be fun to play a little trick on them.
One day a box arrived from Weight Watchers that had some of their Brownie Bites. What you might notice is that the box does not say anywhere that it was from Weight Watchers, that part was the secret. Once we opened the box and unwrapped the blue packaging was a box of the Peanut Butter Brownie Bliss and the Triple Chocolate Brownie Bliss bars. All of my family, including me were eager to try these…
So we all tried the Brownie Bliss bars and my kids LOVED them. My daughter Hannah said the Peanut Butter Brownie Bliss was now her new favorite. After the bars were demolished from both boxes, I told them there was a little secret that I had been keeping. I have to also admit that I enjoyed this little prank…
In the box that Brownie Bliss Bars came in was another two boxes, but only marked as Weight Watchers. I knew these were inside, so I didn’t let anyone look inside the box because I didn’t want to ruin the surprise. It was pretty neat to see everyone enjoy these without knowing the brand behind the bars.
Right now there are two different flavors I personally like them both. If I had showed them that they were Weight Watchers before I tried them, I would have NOT got the reaction I did. They would have NOT been eager to try them and I might have been the one eating them all instead of my kids.
Here are the current two varieties of the Weight Watchers Brownie Bliss products:
- Triple Chocolate Brownie Bliss™ – A decadent brownie layered with creamy, chocolate ganache and a chocolaty coating. Each individually-wrapped brownie is 80 calories.
- Peanut Butter Brownie Bliss™ – A decadent brownie layered with creamy, real peanut butter and a chocolaty coating. Each individually-wrapped brownie is 90 calories.
Want to try these too? Or maybe even pull a little prank on your family? The Weight Watchers Brownie Bliss Bars have been hitting shelves this month, so keep your eye out!

That is so funny. I have done this to my kids before too. They have loved the food until they realized what it was.
Daisy says
Yum! I want to try the Peanut butter bliss one!
Tasha says
Lol! Awesome! I want to try these now. They look yummy!
Janel says
That’s so funny!! I’ll admit, I might have had the same reaction. Being a bit unsure and cautious if I knew they were diet before trying them. They look really good, though!
Andrea says
How funny! I would love to try them so I’ll keep an eye out when I go to the grocery store. Thanks for sharing!
Brett says
ha! i love it!! great idea, too, not telling them the brand.
Jai says
Nice! That’s one way to make the point that there is such a thing as good-tasting while being less-fattening.
Christy Garrett @ Uplifting Families says
These look awesome. Thank you for sharing.
Liz @ A Nut in a Nutshell says
I’ll go without a drink if all I can choose is non-diet soda. We’re opposites! Those brownies look fantastic, super fantastic. the WW label doesn’t deter me at all!
Debi@ The Spring Mount 6 Pack says
I do not drink diet drinks either. I pretty much only drink water and coffee. But those brownies sure do look good.
Becca says
I would love to try these, but I have to admit that I haven’t liked other Weight Watchers baked goods in the past. I really hope they have improved! 🙂
LyndaS says
It’s funny how we can pre-judge something just by a name. (My husband does not want to eat anything labeled “casserole” even though everything in it are things that he loves.) I like harmless pranks.
Sandy VanHoey says
They really do look great and since my daughter is dieting and she loves brownies, I will have to pick some up for her
