Well I was going to attempt to make this dessert for a party this weekend. I did a quick google search for the recipe and what I found made me a little sad and a little nauseous.
Each of these a la mode desserts represented a whopping 1,590 calories. EACH ONE. Think about it - even if you order the dessert and 4 spoons to share with 3 other family members or friends at your table, we are still talking about 398 calories just for dessert! The entire dessert also contributes 37 grams of saturated fat - imagine that! That's the same amount of saturated fat in two Double Quarter Pounders with Cheese from McDonalds (there are 19 grams of saturated fat in each Double Quarter Pounder with Cheese).
Needless to say this is not going to be on the menu for the party this weekend! Nor at my table the next time we are at Chili's.
