I just discovered that Newk's peanut butter crispy--basically a peanut butter rice crispy treat with chocolate on top--has 601 calories! Does anyone have a low calorie recipe for this?

    still not 'low' calorie though. certainly, though, there's no way to lower cals significantly without 'going healthy' with it, or learning to chop it into quarters and making it last 4 days instead of 30 seconds.

    This sounds great! Thank you! :)

    Is this something that you can use the PB2 (powered peanut butter) in? PB2 seems to be low in calories, and that could cut out some of the high calorie effect..... Maybe a smaller slathering of chocolate too??

    Maybe someone with more PB2 could chime in, I have never used it.

    Why do the treats we crave have to be HIGH in calories????
