I had some extra nuts chopped after making the baco crunchy coleslaw the other night. My daughter created this while we were out from the leftover nuts. Pretty good for an 11 year old!!

Mary's Concoction

by Chrissy


1 envelope Swiss Miss Fat Free Hot Cocoa Mix(Contains Splenda) (8 GMs of Sugar but comes from the dry milk and your not going to eat the whole recipe at one time, hopefully)
1/4 cup chopped almost to ground peanuts

Empty 1/2 packet Swiss Miss into 1/2 cup measuring cup fill with water and mix. Add this to rest of Swiss Mix packet and nuts. Mixture will be thick. Use a spoon to drop them on small tray covered with wax paper. Freeze a few hours until frozen. Pop into mouth to satisfy chocolate craving.

Swedish Nuts

1 egg white slightly beaten
2 cups pecan or walnut halves
1/3 cup Splenda Granular
2 tsp. ground cardamon or cinnamon

Heat oven to 300 F. Grease a jelly roll pan.

Mix egg white and nuts in medium bowl until
nuts are coated and sticky.

Mix Splenda and spice and sprinkle over nuts.
Stir until completely coated.

Spread nuts in single layer in pan.

Bake about 30 minutes or until toasted. Cool completely or serve slightly warm.

NOTE: I only had the Splenda packets, so I mixed 3 packets and the spice with the egg white. It probably could have used 1 or 2 more packets. I baked mine a little too long so keep an eye on them.

It's a sweet treat that stays well within "legal".

This is an easier and more successful meringue than the one that has already been posted.

Carob Chip Meringues

2 egg whites (the powdered kind, available in grocery stores, whips up great!)
1/2 tsp vanilla

1/2 C Splenda
2/3 C unsweetened carob pieces (can find in health food store)

Lightly grease a cookie sheet, Beat egg whites, vanilla, and cream of tartar with electric mixer or cuisinart til soft peaks form..Add the sugar, 1 tbl at a time, beating thill stiff peaks form. fold in carob pieces.

2. Drop mixture by rounded teaspoons 2 inches apart on the pprepared cookie sheet. Bake in a 300° oven about 20 minutes or until
lightly browned around the edges. transfer cookies to a wire rack and let cool.

These actually hit the spot, and they're practically calorie free!
