<br>ASK HUNGRY GIRL
<br>  	
<br>Hey, Hungry Girl!
<br>
<br>I'm pretty sure I have a peanut butter addiction. I find that after a meal, I crave something sweet -- most of the time something consisting of chocolate and peanut butter. Got any suggestions? Thanks!

<br>Hi, Liz!
<br>
<br>Yup, peanut butter plus chocolate is one crave-worthy combination. Here are my suggestions for an after-dinner fix...
<br>
<br>Vitalicious Fudgy Peanut Butter Chip VitaTops - No way around it -- having one of these is THE best way to kick a chocolate and peanut butter craving to the curb. You do have to order the Tops online, but it's worth it. Just 100 calories and a PointsPlus&reg; value of 3* per VitaTop.
<br>
<br>HG Hot Couple! Athens Mini Fillo Shells + Snickers - If you want to make a REAL peanut 'n chocolate candy bar go far, chop it up and melt it into fillo shells! You can have two of these for 83 calories and a PointsPlus&reg; value of 2*. That's NUTTY!
<br>
<br>Skinny Cow Chocolate Peanut Butter Low Fat Ice Cream Sandwiches - True lovers of PB&C know that portion control is important! That's why I love these individual sandwiches for an ice cream fix. Each one has 150 calories and a PointsPlus&reg; value of 4*.
<br>
<br>Teeny Weeny Creamy Oreo Peanut Butter Poppers - Don't let the "teeny weeny" part get you down; you can eat TEN of these mini frozen treats for 188 calories and a PointsPlus&reg; value of 5*. Or have five for 94 calories. Your call!
<br>
<br>Fiber One Chocolate Peanut Butter 90 Calorie Chewy Bars - Toss one of these in your bag and enjoy it after any meal, anywhere! Each fiber-packed, 90-calorie bar clocks in with a PointsPlus&reg; value of 2*.
<br>
<br>P.S. I am so happy to hear that you are enjoying the new book! What's your favorite recipe!? I'm guessing it's the PB & Chocolate Oatmeal Blitz!

<br>Hi Hungry Girl,
<br>
<br>I'm curious why your recipes call for powdered creamer that gets dissolved in water instead of calling for liquid creamer. Are the stats different, or is it because the shelf life of powdered creamer is longer, or is it for a whole different reason? I love your recipes, your website, and the daily emails!

<br>
<br>Hi Cream of,
<br>
<br>There are a couple of reasons, actually. The creamer we call for most often is sugar-free French vanilla. Both the liquid and the powdered versions are creamy and sweet with impressive stats. But the powdered variety is a MUCH better kitchen staple. Why? For one thing, portion control. While recipes make it easy and call for specific amounts of creamer, it's WAY too easy to over-pour liquid creamer into your coffee, causing calories to rack up quickly. (Who uses just ONE tablespoon?! Come on!) With the powder, a little goes a long way, and it's easier to keep the amount you're adding in check. Also, like you said, the powdered creamer has a much longer shelf life; so if you're not someone who drinks coffee daily but you want to make an HG recipe or two with the stuff, you're much better off buying the powdered kind. I feel the same way about plain, unflavored creamer -- just make sure to get the fat-free version. BTW, Coffee-mate makes the best creamers. Consider yourself Cream of Informed!
