I think I can help with this craving....

There's a website that I get e-mails from every day about recipes. www.mealsforyou.com is what it's called and you can search for different things like cookies and desserts that are low in calories and easy to make. For example:
Atchley's Quick Cookies
Prep: 10 min, Cook: 5 min.

* 1/4 cup white sugar
* 1/4 cup brown sugar
* 1/2 cup light corn syrup
* 3/4 cup peanut butter, plain or crunchy
* 1 tsp. vanilla extract
* 2 cups crispy rice cereal

Combine first 3 ingredients in a 2 quart saucepan and bring to a boil over medium high heat. Boil 1 minute. Remove pan from heat. Immediately stir in peanut butter and vanilla, then cereal. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto wax paper. When set, store the cookies in an airtight container. Cookies can be frozen for up to a month.

This recipe serves 24 people. Due to the nature of this recipe, it adjusts the number of servings in multiples of 24 only.

Per serving: calories 88, fat 4.1g, 39% calories from fat, cholesterol 0mg, protein 2.1g, carbohydrates 12.1g, fiber 0.5g, sugar 8.4g, sodium 47mg, diet points 2.5.


This makes enough for 24 but each serving is only 88 calories! So, next time you've got the munchies for cookies, use this to satiate your hunger!
