Sweet Berry Bruschetta

Perfect Valentine's Day Breakfast!

**Recipe from Melinda Christensen**

10 slices french bread, 1/2 inch thick

5 tsp sugar, divided

6 oz. fat free cream cheese (I did the 1/3 less fat kind)

1/2 tsp. almond extract

3/4 c. fresh blackberries

3/4 c. fresh raspberries (I substituted both berries for strawberries because that's what I had)

1/4 c. slivered almonds, toasted

2 tsp. powdered sugar, plus extra for dusting

Place bread on an ungreased baking sheet; lightly coat with cooking spray.

Sprinkle with 2 teaspoons sugar.

Broil 3-4 inches from the heat for 1-2 minutes or until lightly browned. ***I WOULD RECOMMEND WATCHING THE WHOLE TIME, it doesn't take long at all..... TOTALLY BURNED MY FIRST PAN WHILE I WAS CUTTING STRAWBERRIES!**
In a small bowl, combine the cream cheese, almond extract, powdered sugar, and remaining sugar.

Spread over toasted bread. Top with berries and almonds; dust with powdered sugar.

Brownie Trifle

1 boxed Brownie mix (bake and break into 1 inch squares/pieces)

3 Heath Bars in bits

2 boxes white chocolate instant pudding

1 3/4 c. milk

1 8oz. tub Cool Whip

fresh strawberries (sliced) or fresh raspberries

Mix pudding and milk then add Cool Whip.

Layer in trifle bowl (or clear glass bowl): brownies, pudding, heath bar, strawberries

Refridgerate till eating! This looks much prettier in a trifle bowl!
