HG's Dreamy Chocolate Peanut Butter Fudg

background
Ingredients
* One 18.3 -ounce box Betty-Crocker Fudge Brownies Traditional Chewy Brownie Mix
* 2 cups canned pure pumpkin
* 2 Tablespoons reduced-fat peanut butter, at room temp

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Combine pumpkin with the brownie mix in large bowl and stir until smooth (batter will be very thick, but don't add anything).

Spray a square baking pan (9x9) w/ nonstick spray and pour in the mixture. Spoon PB on top and use a knife to swirl it around the top of the batter. Bake in oven for 35 min. ( the batter will remain very thick and fudge like, and it should look undercooked.) allow to cool.

Cover pan w/ foil and place in the fridge for at least 2 hr. Cut into 36 squares.
makes 36 servings

Per serving: 1 piece 65 cal, 1g fat, 57mg sodium, 14 g carbs, 1g fiber, 9g sugar, 1g protein

Use Betty Crocker= super low in fat and contains fiber
WARNING:
You many think that because they are "healthier" and "ONLY 65 cal" that you can eat a lot of these little choc. bites, but the calories do add up quickly.

GAME PLAN:
In moderation, these are amazing. Even though it takes a little bit of time, it will save you lots of room in your jeans by individually wrapping each one in plastic wrap, then place in a ziplock bag and throw in the freezer. It makes portion control so much easier. Shown in the second picture.

Make it even better: I like to cut one bar in 1/2 and put 1/2 tsp PB on each one for a total of 98 calories.

pb bar cut with more pb
