8 packs of Equal (or sweetener of choice)
6 Tbsp. butter
4 oz. cream cheese
4 oz. heavy cream
2 Tbsp. heavy cream
5 Tbsp. Simply Jiff peanut butter
6 Tbsp. spoonable Splenda (if you don't have this, it measures like sugar so use your favorite sweetener)
1 cup crushed pecans
16 Tbsp. Cool Whip
1 square of unsweetened chocolate
Crust:
Mix pecans and 4 Tbsp. melted butter. Pour in pie plate, spread out to cover bottom of plate. Put in freezer.

Hmm - mmmmm
Peanut butter will be by bane - I am afraid I have to stay a bit away from it. But if I every get a grip on myself here is a recipe.

Cool whip is not induction friendly though - I think it comes with corn syrup or something. We have to use real cream on Atkins (which is a good thing). Also need to stay away from peanut butter with hydrogenated oils.
Equal is apartame - the sweetener Atkins told us to stay away from. So splenda may be a better choice for most.

And this is a rung three recipe it looks like
But I am book marking it.

>> 5 Tbsp. Simply Jiff peanut butter>

I think if you look at the list of ingredients, you'll see that this really isn't Atkins friendly.

>> 16 Tbsp. Cool Whip>>

This isn't allowed on Atkins ... ever.

And ... nuts aren't allowed on Induction.

YesJif contains molasses and sugars doesn't it? At least their regular one. Even their "natural peanut butter" contains sugar. Not a brand for people on Atkins at all. But there are good brands out there.

It is also good when you post a recipe to specify the rung. It helps people who are looking for recipes.

Well it may not "break you", but just the mention of peanut butter will set off cravings for a lot of people, myself included.

To some of us PB is a "dirty word".

But to those of us who ARE on Atkins, most will probably choose to stay away from that recipe at Induction.

Of course...I hope you enjoy it!
