Low Calorie Peanut Butter Cups! - Sweets & Treats

CubLub63 · 08-08-2009, 11:20 PM

I made these today, and I've fallen in love.

They're only 60 calories a cup.

The recipe calls for a certain kind of peanut butter, but my grocery store didn't carry it so I opted for reduced fat Jif and it worked just the same.

1 8-oz. container Cool Whip Free
1/3 cup Better ‘n Peanut Butter, Regular Creamy *Or Reduced Fat Jif*
4 tbsp. Hershey’s Syrup, Sugar Free

Line a 12-cupcake pan with cupcake holders, or spray pan with nonstick spray. Using a whisk, combine one cup of Cool Whip Free with Better 'n Peanut Butter. Fold in remaining Cool Whip. Pour the mixture into cupcake tin evenly (approx. 2.5 tablespoons each). Top each cup with a dollop of sugar-free chocolate syrup (about 1 tsp.). Freeze.

i need to get the ingredients

Thankfully, the ingredients are pretty simple. And I only used maybe 1/3 of the peanut butter jar and I didn't even make a dent in the chocolate syrup, so if you wanted to make two batches of 'em all you'd have to do is buy another tub of cool whip.

unless i'm hiding the cool whip from myself, that is all i need. i usually have some around, but i think i'm all out. i have the rest though! might have to go to the store tomorrow!

what a great treat in this heat lately too!

Oh, just a side note that I forgot to mention... they're a little messy to eat. Next time I make 'em, I was thinking about inserting popsicle sticks into the sides so it's less messy.

noted. i will have to see what i can come up with. i'm really excited to make these...i LOVE PB cups!

Yay! Glad I got someone else hooked.

Just some food for thought here... a Reese's Big Cup has 230 calories in comparison to the 60 calories found in one of these!
