I was pleasantly surprised that the peanut butter flavor really came through in this. It was very tasty and works into the Weight Watchers program very easily.

I've made this recipe several times when I was having people over for dinner. Everyone that has tried absolutely loved it! It is now one of my favorite desserts.

We loved this recipe. It was a pefect sweet chocolate fix. I used sugar free cook and serve chocolate pudding be accident, but in my opinion i liked the cooked pudding better. It has better flavor. I also found an all natural peanut butter with flax. I was a little worried at first but it had 30 less calories then the fat free ones and the family liked it better.This was good:)

These are really fantastic! I would like to add a little more peanut flavor so next time I'm going to try to increase the peanut butter just a little. If you're watching your calories this really feels like a big splurge!
