Chocolate Berry Desert Salad

So my cousin Mary asked for another recipe. I'm not big on cooking, but I did come up with a quick and simple little desert while strolling through the grocery store. It's not some profound find that no one's ever thought of before, but for someone who doesn't really cook it's an important baby step. :)

1 lb Stawberries
2 packages (12 oz total) of Blackberries (or raspberries, or blueberries, you get the idea)
1 container of fat free/sugar free whipped topping
1 tbls Unsweetened Cocao Powder

Slice the stawberries into eighths. Put all the berries into a bowl with the cocao powder and whipped topping. Mix well (you can also add some sweetener like Splenda to add some extra sweetness). Chill overnight.

It makes about 15 1/2 cup servings and is a perfect little snack or after lunch desert. The berries are "filling foods" so what seems like a small amount actually makes you feel like it's more after you eat it.

Each serving is 1 point, so you can have a lot and be guilt fee about it. For those who aren't familiar with the Weight Watcher's point system here's a little perspective. 1 Thin Mint Girl Scout cookie is 1 point. A half cup of this is a lot more than one little Thin Mint.
