<br>HG Alternative: Can't find low-fat cinnamon grahams? Get regular cinnamon graham crackers instead. Just add 5 calories and 0.5g fat to each sandwich's stats.

<br>These taste like we put peach cobbler a la mode in the blender, and then sandwiched that between graham crackers! Thankfully, ours have WAY fewer calories and fat grams than those fantasy treats would...
<br>

<br>1/3 cup peach slices packed in juice (about 4 slices), drained and blotted dry
<br>1/4 cup Cool Whip Free (thawed)
<br>1/4 tsp. cinnamon
<br>1 no-calorie sweetener packet (like Splenda or Truvia)
<br>2 sheets (8 crackers) low-fat cinnamon graham crackers, broken into 4 squares
<br>
<br>Directions:
<br>Place drained peach slices, Cool Whip, cinnamon, and sweetener in a small blender or food processor. Pulse until mostly smooth.
<br>
<br>Transfer to a small bowl and freeze until slightly firm, about 20 minutes.
<br>
<br>Lightly stir and evenly divide mixture between 2 graham cracker squares. Gently top each with one of the remaining squares.
<br>
<br>Freeze until filling is firm, at least 1 hour. Yum!
