Happy Thin-dependence - Summer BBQ's

Frozen Peanut Butter Cups

8 oz. ff cool whip

1/2 cup peanut butter (i used extra crunchy)

2 tablespoons chocolate syrup


Line muffin pans with liners. with spoon, mix cool whip and peanut butter until well combined. Spoon even portions into muffin liners.

Top each with a swirl of chocolate syrup. Freeze 6-8 hours until frozen. Once solid, remove the pan and place into freezer bag or container.

You can also use mini size foil cups and make 24 at 1 pt each. They don't re-freeze real hard and the chocolate never freezes. These kind of melt in your mouth.

Declaration poem

***

Do you declare a thinner, healthier you?

You have the right to make your dreams come true.

***

Are you ready to pledge your goals to attain?

Independence from overweight can truly remain.

***

What if starting today you take control,

Renew the commitment, and set a healthy weight goal?

***

Enjoy this freedom, every point 2 of the ‘weigh’!

Indisputably, your diligence will be rewarded one day.

***

How badly do you want what I hold in my hand? (lifetime key)

I have confidence in you, - but YOU are in command.
