WEEKLY WEIGH-IN
Here are some of HG's FAVORITE new recipes...
Snack-tastic Holiday Mix
PER SERVING (1 cup): 132 calories, 3g fat, 137mg sodium, 28g carbs, 5g
fiber, 9g sugars, 2g protein -- POINTS® value 2*
This sweet 'n toasty mix is so good it may make your head explode. So be
careful...
Ingredients:
2 cups puffed corn cereal (like Kix)
1/2 cup Fiber One bran cereal (original)
1 oz. (about 1 cup) crispy freeze-dried apples
3 tbsp. Splenda No Calorie Sweetener, granulated
1 1/2 tbsp. light whipped butter or light buttery spread
1 tbsp. light corn syrup
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1 tbsp. sliced almonds
Directions:
Since this is a quickie recipe, its best to have all ingredients measured out
and ready to go before starting (to avoid burning). Begin by setting out a
large piece of foil for the recipe to cool on after its prepared.
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine butter, Splenda, corn syrup and
cinnamon. Stir while cooking over low heat. Once mixture is thoroughly
blended and bubbling, stir in both cereals, and coat them with the mixture.
Continuously stir for approximately 2 1/2 minutes, until cereal mix looks well
coated and toasty.
Mix in apple crisps and almonds, and then immediately remove from heat.
Spread mixture out on foil until cool.
