I am not a big candy eater, but let me tell you when I am craving something - I need those flavors!!

Since being sleeved I have had to get creative with how I approach certain cravings. So, there I was last night craving something sweet, particularly a Butterfinger Candy bar. I knew I didn't need the sugars and junk in one but needed those flavors. Into the kitchen I went and here is the concoction I mixed up and OMG, tastes JUST LIKE a Butterfinger candy bar!

Ingredients:

1 - 11 oz. chocolate Premier Protein shake

1 tbsp. sugar free, Fat Free Butterscotch pudding Mix

1 tbsp. creamy Peanut Butter

1 tsp. instant coffee granules (you don't taste the coffee, just heightens the chocolate taste)

Couple handfuls of ice

Throw all ingredients in a blender and/or bullet mixing system - mix well to incorporate all ingredients.

Wonderful, thick, creamy Butterfinger fix! Oh yeah!

Also, I had enough left over that I poured it into popsicle molds and froze for a quick treat later in the week!

Enjoy!

The verdict is ....it's delicious! I added an extra tablespoon of butterscotch pudding mix because my expert butterfinger taster said it needed to be more caramelly. With adding that, using PB2 and 1/4 tsp instant espresso powder instead of coffee granules since that's what I had....yum! Spot on. And the pudding mix really helps to get it nice and thick. I even had my first sip of Protein shake and thought it was good. Sweet, but good! Dessert in a cup- perfect movie theatre treat if they'll let you take it in.

As long as your bag is big enough, you can bring anything in! I will have to try it!

I like the idea of using pudding mix. I love spumoni ice cream and I'm thinking about trying a mix of chocolate and cherry protein powder with pistachio sugar free pudding mix and see how it is. It'll either be yummy or nasty....if it's yummy I could freeze into mini pops like ice cream!
