Default Whipped Peanut Butter - how to figure points?

I made mine this am, but can't figure out the points....I used a different peanut butter than normal....

Peanut butter (16 oz) - 2T/serving (13 total servings) - 169 cal/11 fat/4 fiber (so 3 pts/serving)

1.5 T nonfat dry milk
2 T brown sugar
3/4 c. water

Can anyone help me figure out the points for this? I'm not sure how to do that....

Thanks!

Not sure what you are asking but either:

1) total up cal/fat/fiber for each ingredient
2) divide those totals up by the number of servings you made
3) figure the points

or

list the points per ingredient, total that up and divide that by the number of servings you use.

My problem is I don't know how many Tablespoons I ended up with, YKWM? I don't want to count out each T. - what a sticky mess.

Whipped peanut butter is less points but tastes basically the same. So it goes further. The person I got the recipe from used a larger batch and a different type, so I can't just use her points either....

hmmm...this is hard.

It's really isn't that hard. You don't have ot measure it out although that would be the best way that way you know how many tablespoons it mades and get the infor for that.

But if you want it to have 8 servings divide it evenly by 8.

Or how about this weigh it...then divide that by how many servings you want it to have.

I'm sorry but unless you make an effort to figure it out how do you think we can?

Well gosh, I assumed this board was helpful...I also assumed someone would be able to tell me how to covert cups/Tablespoons/ounces all to the same unit so I could then figure it out...but gosh, I was wrong.

I'm sorry if you took what I said as being unhelpful but there really isn't much you can do other than what I gave you. I do this will almost every recipe I find I either weight it or measure it out by cups or tablespoons and then write the info in the margin so I have it for future reference.

3 tsp = 1 tbsp
4 tbsp = 1/4 cup

But the thing you need realize that some ingedients (such as the sugar and powedered milk) will disolve into the liquids and they won't add volume.

Again I apologize for what you perceived as unhelpful but there isn't much more we can do.
