The original recipe called for only 1 tablespoon each peanut butter and cocoa. I tasted it and it tasted like neither peanut butter nor chocolate, so I added more which added more carbs. It also seemed a bit bitter so I added another 1/4 cup granulated Splenda. It looked pale and boring so I added the chocolate curls, but this also added more carbs. It still tastes a little bitter to me, but I'm not sure if it needs more sweetener or what. Freezing it improves the tasts a little. You could cut this into 12-16 smaller pieces and save on carbs. I added the comment about using Knox brand gelatin because I've not had good luck with the store brand gelatin (Kroger's brand). It doesn't soften or dissolve well and desserts have a tendency to separate while setting.
OMG you guys!! This is soooooo good!!! Too yummy!! I LOVE Linda!! I made this with the 2 tablespoons peanut butter and cocoa powder. I sweetened it with 1/2 cup Davinci Vanilla, and half a dropper of Stevia.
This was too easy to make, and so good. It really tastes like you slaved over it! I can't wait to let my non-Atkins friends try this. They always have a hard time with the fact I can eat like this, and lose weight!!
What would we do without it?
