Made them tonite but with some macadamia butter I had in the fridge + 4 squares of 85% cocoa Lindt choc and salted butter. Too salty for me (still chowed 3!!) but just fine for hubby. I'm going to make them with the unsalted butter and pb next time and I'm sure they'll be perfect!!
I was also thinking of mixing them with different flavors...coconut, almonds, raspberry etc...and rolling them into little balls and dusting them with cocoa to have as truffles for Christmas.
...might have to cut down a bit on the butter for the truffles. Does anyone know how these things hold their shape when they're out of the freezer for a short while?

YIPPEE!!! When following the original recipe these are great!!! I made them the first time by replacing the 1/3 cup Splenda with DaVinci German Chocolate Syrup and I used Skippy peanut butter. I only used 3 tablespoons of it and they came out HORRIBLE!!! So, I figured I'd give them another shot using the Splenda and Smucker's natural peanut butter . I didn't have the natural pb at the time, I'm glad I went out and got it.....

Oh yeah, I made them out to be about the original size of Reeces by using a regular muffin tin and making 12 for about 1 1/2 carbs each. Of course I count them as 2 . I'm going to use my mini muffin pans and try to make 20 of them for 1 carb each.

Ok these sound really good and easy but do you use unsweetened peanut butter or just regular?

These are great.....I use a natural Peanut butter.....When you read the ingredients, it should say made with peanuts only.....

I tried these tonight. They're not bad, but I didn't flip for them. I made them with an extra Tb. of butter and 3 Tbs.of cocoa, natural peanut butter w/salt, unsalted butter, a touch more cream and a splash of Torani vanilla syrup. There was just too much dark chocolate taste for me. They might be excellent w/the coconut, however.

Oh my they are delicious. Ive made them several times..
But my question is. Ive been sticking closely to the plan and Im not sure if these are causing me to gain?
anyone else try these and find them selves gaining while eating them..
alot of times. I cut them in half.. eat one after lunch then the rest at night for a snack..
also.. I only have the 6 portion cupcake liners.. and when I make them. I make 6 in there then use 2 paper liners on a plate to freeze them..
not sure how many carbs .. there are.. doing it that way..
and Im not sure how to figure it on the fitday..
thank you in advance. on any help..
huggs..

I was only able to get 4 out of what I made...so I guess that they were 4.25carbs a peice...

Not bad...

I think they are delicious but.. I was wondering if any one has gained any or stalled from eating them..
also.. I hope that Im making them right? lol
I've been using the recipie from the front page.. where this topic first started. only ive been using the nestle semi sweet choc chips.. I got them on sale for a dollar a bag at our super walmart.. I use my scale and measure out 1 oz of them..
( I figure cheap candy) lol..
well sort of..
the reason I say about making them right was because I noticed on here too that some make them with hershey cocoa..?
they do sound like they would be too dark chocolate for me too..

Hi Brandy Wine...the I guess its a win/loose situation...unsweetened is pretty dark...but semi-sweet is high in carbs...

I guess I better go back thru and find the recipie and..for how much cocoa to use.. perhaps it can be lowered?
On the main one. it said.. 1 oz of baking chocolate.. lol.. guess I misread it wrong.. then seems like i remember someone saying the nestles semi sweet chips are the lowest.. so go figure. but next time .. I will try the cocoa .. lol..
thanks for replying.. at least now i know..
Debbi~
Think I will wait a while tho.. just to see if that is what is causing it.
or if it could be something else..
thanks again..

These are a lifesaver at TOM .

WHOOPS! Sorry Brandywine---I goofed! I re-read the post--saw your post, but also saw with Saweetie's photo.

Oh well, sounds like I need a LC choc peanut butter cup to clear my mind.

Saweetie, your picture is darling! And Brandywine--you get a pic up too so we can see your smile!

Sorry--Annie-Pie

I made these for the first time last night. They taste like greasy chocolate butter. What did I do wrong? Help!!

I melt 4 Ross coconut bars, and 1/2 of a ketogenics almond bar (if I have it around) I add 1/4 brick cream cheese and 2 large tbsp of unsweetened crunchy peanut butter. Stir it all up...After it all melts together I drop them on a greased plate with a tablespoon. I make them pretty large. I then freeze them, and take one or two out as a treat when the PMS makes me nuts!
