I love the peanut butter cup recipe, but I got to thinking and I could be onto something... tell me what you think. First of all, for those of you who are unfortunate enough not to know about the original recipe, it's:
melt one sugar free fudgesicle in microwave for about 30 seconds. Add 2tbsp. natural peanut butter and one tbsp. cool whip (low fat, or fat free). Mix together and freeze.
I added three tablespoons of oatmeal to mine and omitted one tbsp. peanut butter, so I can have another tbsp of peanut butter with lunch or with a snack.
They are not frozen yet, so I don't know how it'll be. Has anyone else tried this yet? |

No, but do tell how it turns out! I was going to buy the ingredients for this today (all I'd need is the fudgecicle), but do you think I could remember what I was supposed to get? No! Oh well, back to the store I go. I forgot my celery as well. |

| Turns out they are pretty good with the oatmeal in them. They are definetely heartier and have more texture to them, and you still taste the richness of the peanut butter. Not bad! |

| I'm gonna have to try that. I usually omit the cool whip, because although it's allowed, it has things in it I'd like to stay away from, and I use the chunky pb instead, gives it a lot of texture, but I'm not a big pb fan anyway, so adding oatmeal might do the trick! |

Joesuzzi,
Yeah - it really does taste good. I like it because when I was a kid doing weight watchers, there was a recipe for these bars that was oatmeal, honey, peanut butter and raisins. You'd mix these all together, form a bar and freeze them. I really enjoyed those, so you know I'd like the oatmeal in the peanut butter cups. Give it a try on one of them, and see if it's for you. The texture is different than the original recipe but the taste is just about the same.
Good luck! |

I put some flaxmeal in mine, gives it more substance, nutritional benefits - and makes it look like more :D
But, I try to put flaxmeal in ANYTHING and EVERYTHING I can :) |
