bump what is better than peanut butter

It's a peanut butter product that Trader Joe's carries. In 2 Tbsp it has only 100 calories and 2 grams of fat. No refined sugars, no cholesterol and no preservatives. No, it's not skippy, but it's so much better for you and it works SOOOO WELL in this recipe!!!
*** It's delicious!!! ***

I made this recipe over the weekend. It is HEAVENLY. It is a recipe I will save and make again for myself and for guests. Here are some things I noticed. There was extra filling, so I set it aside and we ate it alone after chilled in refrigerator. it was DELICIOUS, like a really yummy tasting chocolate peanut butter mousse. You can make and serve the chilled filling alone as a dessert to serve to guests and it is low fat and low calorie. You could add a very small cookie on the side, and again have a rich and beautiful dessert that is low in calories.

I should have left the filled peanut butter cups in the cupcake tin, covered with foil, and frozen them first in the tin. Then they retain their shape better and look prettier. After frozen, it they require longer storage, you can put them in tupperward and freeze them.

The graham cracker crusts were YUMMY! They make the dessert different from just serving as a mousse. The crusts were a bit crumbly, so I will try one extra tablespoon of low fat smart butter next time. It won't add many calories and may help the crust hold up, especially if serving to guests.

To make measuring peanut butter and cool whip easier, you can check the side of the packages and guesstimate pretty well, such as a third a jar of PB or about 1/2 a tub of cool whip, etc. Just try to get it close based on information on the labels on the jars. This recipe does NOT fall aparty if you are slightly off in measurements, unlike baked goods which require some precision.
