Dollar Desserts
When your sweet tooth is calling, you can't expect a 99-cent soft serve ice cream cone from the McDonald's drive-through to hit the spot. Sure, it fits the bill for a cheap dessert, but the quality is somewhat lacking, and the drive-through fails to provide the appropriate social environment. However, we're still college students, so we would be hard-pressed to shell out $10 for a slice of chocolate cake from The Chocolate Bar.
Fortunately, there are fantastic gourmet solutions to this dessert dilemma. Inexpensive, but still delicious, hidden deals and off-the-menu items at local Houston restaurants present to-die-for dessert options for under $3. These desserts won't break the bank, and they're the perfect treats to satisfy your sugary cravings. Click here to see a PDF of the full page spread.
