Most times after dinner, my kids ask about dessert. Some times, I let them have one.

But I’m certainly not always in the mood to whip something up, so Duncan Hines’ new Perfect Size For 1 mug cakes are just right for them to make their own, and fast.

All you do is empty the packet into a coffee mug, add 3 tablespoons of water (or milk), stir and microwave for about a minute.

The result, a small cake that’s perfect for quenching that sweet tooth.

They come in 18 flavors including Chocolate Lover’s Cake, Carrot Cake, Banana Bread and S’mores Cake.

Size: 4 (2.4 ounce) packets

Price: $2.50

Available: Grocery stores everywhere
