Kraft Kitchens tips:
SIZE-WISE
Sweets can be part of a balanced diet but remember to keep tabs on portions.
HOW TO UNMOLD CHOCOFLAN
Place serving plate over cake pan. Invert dessert onto plate. Gently remove pan; spoon any remaining caramel left in pan.
SUBSTITUTE
Caramel sugar is a great substitute for Mexican caramel sauce. Simply mix 1/2 cup sugar and 2 Tbsp. water in saucepan; cook on medium heat 7 min. or until sugar is deep golden brown. Pour into prepared pan; continue as directed.
