Kitty Chow

Who doesn’t love a handful (or seven) of puppy-chow? All of that wonderful chocolate and peanut butter goodness…but horrible for your waistline. This recipe is a little lighter so you can enjoy your chow without overindulging.

Prep Time: 15 -20 min
Cook Time: None required!

Ingredients:

2 cups Fiber 1® Honey Squares
1 Tablespoon Peanut Butter
1 Tablespoon of Light Butter (try Brummel and Brown yogurt blend)
1 Tablespoon Chocolate Cocoa Powder
1/2 Tablespoon mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 packet sugar-free vanilla pudding mix

Putting it all together:

In a microwave safe bowl, melt peanut butter, cocoa, butter and chocolate chips together –stir until well blended and microwave for a bit longer if needed
Gently stir the cereal until it well coated
Toss in the fridge for about 15 minutes
Once cooled, put into a ziplock bag and dump packet of vanilla pudding mix into the bag – shake until well covered

This recipe makes about four servings, with each serving coming in around 101 calories. It is incredibly rich so you only need a little bit to get the full impact.
