Hold your horses... there is nothing "good for you" about this.
The first four ingredients of the Cool Whip Free are: Water, Corn Syrup (read: sugar), Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil (read: trans fats), High Fructose Corn Syrup (read: sugar again).
Graham Crackers are NOT good for you. Refined cereal grains (anything flour based) are unnecessary in your diet. Replace them with a crust made of nuts and you're better off. Yes, nuts are higher in fat, but your body requires fat for functioning. It does NOT require grains.
This is loaded with sugar. A huge "diet" saboteur. If you're trying to get lean, lose the sugar from your diet. Nosh on dark chocolate (lower in sugar and fat) and some nuts. Not Cool Whip and pudding!
In the past twenty years, "low-fat" foods have become a way of life for many Americans and yet, Americans are fatter than ever. Don't eat anything labeled "low-fat", eat things without labels instead.
nearly all the "diet" foods promoted on this site are similar to what you just listed, but people still think they are losing weight. just use the real stuff, have an indulgent snack, a small amount to kill the craving and then walk away. maybe do some extra exercise to burn off the calories if they bother you that much
low-cal/low-fat doesn't equal "good for you" because of all the chemicals used to make the products 'low cal' or whatever.0 -

mine came out to 164 calories per mini pie. this recipe is looking at a each graham cracker as 4 little squares which make up the 2 full crackers, not a lot to make crust with 2 tablespoons of butter. If you do actual full crackers and use 8 of them, it comes out to around 164 calories. Still low cal and so worth it, they are awesome!0

Let's break down the sugar:
Per Serving: Graham Crackers: 1.5 G
Sugar Free/Fat Free Jello Chocoloate Pudding: 0 G
Cool Whip Lite: 4 G
Peanut Butter: 1 G
So a grand total of 6.5 G of sugar. Maybe its not going to qualify as "health food", but it sure is a better alternative than indulging in chocolate cheesecake or Reese's Peanut Butter Cups from the supermarket.
Also, Cook Whip Lite has zero Transfats.0 -
Actually Cool Whip Free is just 2G of Sugar giving a grand total of 4.5G.
**Also, Cool Whip Free has zero transfats.0 -
just put mine in the freezer, i hope they're ready tonight, i've already logged one for dessert!0
-
I'm making this today, I'm just adding some chocolate protein to it and using coconut oil instead of butter. I am so excited!0

Almost Good For You Mini Chocolate Peanut Butter Pies
Yields 12
Ingredients
9 reduced fat graham cracker squares, crushed finely
2 tablespoons reduced-fat margarine, melted
1 cup 1% milk OR unsweetened soy milk
½ cup, plus 1 tablespoon creamy peanut butter
1 (1.4 ounce) package sugar-free chocolate pudding mix
2 cups light or fat-free Cool Whip
Additional Cool Whip or Redi-Whip for serving
How to make it
Line 12 muffin cups with paper liners.
In a small bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and melted margarine.
Press crumb mixture into bottom of lined muffin cups (about 1 tablespoon of crumbs per muffin cup).
Bake at 350 degrees for 5 minutes; remove pan from oven and cool completely before filling.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the peanut butter and milk together on low speed.
Add the pudding mix and beat for 1 minute.
Fold in the Cool Whip; spoon mixture into the muffin cups.
Freeze for several hours or overnight.
To serve, remove fluffs from freezer, peel off liner and let stand at room temperature to soften slightly, about 5 minutes, and top with a tablespoon of Light or Fat Free Cool Whip or Redi-Whip.
NOTE: For a change in flavor, use vanilla pudding in place of the chocolate pudding -

Holy food police! I think the OP was suggesting this recipe as an alternative. She didn't say it was health food, it's just a better choice than a higher cal treat...sheesh.
Anyhoo...whenever someone says cool whip I think of Stewie on Family Guy...hahaha, Youtube it...hilarious!
Thanks for the recipe hun!
