Gah! Poor Priscilla at Thrifty Crafty Girl tried to do us all a favor and share a her quick, easy and delicious recipe for what she calls Cherry Crobbler with us...
(Yes, Crobbler.)
(Yes, Crobbler.)
Someone did not appreciate Priscilla's generosity and took in upon herself to criticize this fabulous 3 ingredient dessert and to do a bit of name calling...

"every pat of butter is 100 calories. i counted 18. so, that's 1800 calories in butter. the whole package of cake mix is 1000 calories. there are 680 calories in a whole can of cherry pie filling. so, technically, the entire pie is 3480. divided by 6 pieces is 580 calories a slice. that's if you really stick to eating just one slice. add in a scoop of vanilla ice cream tacks on another 150 to 200 calories.
oh yeah. you're a real thrifty, crafty, hefty girl.
better to have used real cherries, just a pat of butter and a few teaspoons of sugar and topped it off with a crumble made from old fashioned oats and cinnamon.
moving on. outta here. yuck."

Huh. OK, is it my turn to talk now? Oh, it is? Super. 'Cause I have a couple things to say...
Let's start by saying that I never claimed this was healthy. Here's a piece of news for you: a lot of desserts aren't healthy. I know, it came as a total shock to me, too. I'll let that heartbreak set in while I address my next point.
Did you just call me fat? I believe you said "Hefty". Oh, it's on now. If you assume that just because I consume mass quantities of fat, sugar and salt I'm hefty, well then you've underestimated this Thrifty Crafty Girl. I'm also assuming you think I sat down with the entire dish in my lap, consuming this dessert in its entirety without a spoon 'cause it gets in the way of my binging. Well, I wanted to... but I was forced to share.
And I'll finish by saying this: I DON'T RECALL STUFFING A GUN TO YOUR RIBS AND FORCING YOU TO MAKE THIS RECIPE. If I did that, I'd be crazy, now wouldn't I? And if I were crazy, I'd leave ridiculous comments on blogs under the name 'Anonymous'. And I just don't do that. A better idea would be to have tried the version you suggested and put THAT in the comments... I'm all for having healthier versions of my recipes. Not for me, since us hefty girls have to keep up the calorie consumption, but other people might like it.
And you're moving on outta here? Shame... I was looking forward to more crabby anonymous comments from you.

Wow. Priscilla seems to have it under control. I think this time around I'll just offer up a wee bit of visual advice:
She can count calories and call names, but apparently isn't familiar with the workings of a keyboard. Nice.
What do you say?
