STRAWBERRY ANGEL FOOD DELIGHT
This is taken from a Weight Watcher recipe that I always liked, but I kind of de-Weight Watchered it! But, it can be made with Splenda, Sugar-Free jello and Sugar-Free Angel Food cake and you can save a bunch of points. It's up to you...either way, it's a good dessert and so showy, when made in a clear bowl!
