Dear God, Plz hlp my Reeces addiction



Recommended Posts

I too love them Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. Fortunately I became allergic to Peanuts and can't have them anymore. I don't know how you suddenly develope an allergy to Peanuts, but I realized it when I was on the South Beach Diet eating a lot of Peanut Butter. I started wheezeing like a big dog. Allergist told me to stay way clear of all nuts from now on. I don't want to die, so I don't eat them.

i have a reciepe that I use to help with certain cravings and this one may help you. Take 1 tbsp of Peanut Butter and 1 sugar-free/fat-free fudgsicle. Place peanut butter in a bowl insert the frozen fudgsicle. Place in microwave for 15-30secs. Just enough to barely melt the fudgsicle. Then mix the pb and melted fudgsicle together. Serve with cool whip. - good news gives you 4-6 grams of Protein and keeps the calories down.

Hope it helps.

grocery shopping online?? I bet you drive one of those HOVERCrafts to work too?? I thought Mrs. Jetson was the only one who could GROCERY shop online!! How does this work? Do they deliver, or do they gather, and you pick up? Is there a service charge? OH MY, the poor bag boys are going to be obsolete. Some of them were so darned cute.

LOL

Out here (Southern California) you can do this at albertsons.com and vons.com (vons is a Safeway brand). At Albertson's, you can pay $9.95 for delivery, or $5.95 for them to gather it for you so you can pick it up. It's really nice, and I do find it helps me not buy junk. I haven't done it much, but I can go throught he lists of things and decide what I want to buy, and then go through what it is in my 'cart' and prune out what I put in there that I really don't need, or isn't in my budget.

:confused:

OK, I too am a Reeses addict.......Lately though when I NEEDED it, I bought the SMALL bag of reeses pieces. Split them 5 ways (btw me & my 4 kids) and ate my mini serving VERY SLOWLY loving every second of it. I figure 5 resses pieces can't be too bad. After all they were ET's favorite and look at his BMI..........

I know it's not the same, but I found something when I'm really desperate. I put a little low fat Peanut Butter in Cream of Wheat. I use the single serving instant made with milk. Put peanut butter in the milk. Micro 2 minutes. Stir in instant Cream of Wheat. Micro 1 more minute. This takes care of my peanut butter craving. You can top with yogurt or anything. Perhaps something Sugar Free Chocolate.< /p>

Peanut Butter cups are my favorite.

Reese's makes sugar free mini pb cups! I found them when I found out I was diabetic...taste like regular ones! One mini kills that craving for me.

I have a receipe for a kind of Reeces square. It DOES taste like the real thing and you can leave the chocolate part off, which is unfortunate because I think there is some value in working for that little bit of Peanut Butter inside. Totally addictive, however I'm proud to say I haven't made it in about 5 years.

i like only the thin layer of chocolate on the top and bottom of the cup. I do not like the thick rim of chocolate on the outer rim of the cup.

oh, gosh, i am demented. wheres is vinesqueen's tough love when we need it?

lol, I'm an addict too. I make them @ home we call them Peanut Butter fudge.

My Grand ma taught me how to make them, she would roll the peanut butter mix into balls then on a toothpick dip them into chocolate. I only make them 1 or 2 times a year. Xmas and if we go somewhere we have to bring a desert.

My hubby cannot see a movie in the theater w/out his reeses pieces, I cant watch it w/out popcorn! lol

I bet I could change up my recipe using low fat peanut butter, splinda (sp) hmm dunno. I'm going to go eat an apple and peanut butter now :)

Oh man. Reese's are the only candy that I really like, and they're my favorite. I haven't had one since banding. I do have a surrogate, FWIW. I add a tbl of low-fat PB to my Protein shakes. In chocolate powder it tastes Peanut Butter cup-ish, not spot on but really good. In vanilla powder it tastes like the white chocolate cups, IMO.

Next time I make a shale I'm going to try the SF PB DaVinci Syrup. Mmm... can't wait...

(Ok, speaking of Peanut Butter & chocolate addictions, I don't really like ice cream that much, but BR has the BEST flavor, Peanut Butter Chocolate... mmmmmmmmm...)

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
