About this Recipe Makeover
Nutty Candy cuts the calories below 100 by replacing regular peanut butter with reduced fat, regular maple syrup with sugar-free, regular milk powder with instant, and granulated sugar with Splenda® granular.
Ingredients Show Makeover Show Traditional
- 2 Tbsp chunky reduced-fat peanut butter
- 1/4 cup sugar-free maple syrup
- 1/4 cup Splenda® granular
- 2/3 cup instant nonfat dry milk powder
- 1 cup quick-cooking oats
- 1/4 cup (1 oz) unsalted dry-roasted peanuts, chopped
- 2 Tbsp chunky peanut butter
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 2/3 cup regular nonfat dry milk
- 1 cup quick-cooking oats
- 1/4 cup (1 oz) salted peanuts, chopped
Directions:
In a medium bowl, combine peanut butter, maple syrup, Splenda, and dry milk powder. Stir in oats and peanuts.
Place waxed paper on a cookie sheet. Drop mixture by teaspoonfuls to form 14 treats. (You could use a cookie scoop. Be sure to spray your scoop or teaspoons with non-stick spray before starting, to keep candy from sticking.)
Refrigerate for 20 minutes, and then roll the candy in your hands to give a smooth surface and shape the candy into balls. Place back into the refrigerator for 5 to 10 minutes. Cover and refrigerate any leftovers.
