I made these a few days ago, and they were a hit with my boyfriend, and the kids. They are pretty simple to make and quite tasty. I wonder how'd they'd be with crunchy peanut butter instead? I'd rather the kids eat one of these instead of a handful of Oreo's...

My mother has diabetes. She also has the senseto read ingredients and make adjustments when necessary and the courtesy to allow others to make their own decisions without haranguing them with her personal problems. I respect your need to watch what you eat very carefully. What I object to is your repeated negative comments about recipes that you have no intention of trying and your assumption that no one but you has enough sense to identify problems with ingredients. I'm allergic to celery, but I'm not going to criticise recipes that include it.

despite that fact that these are neither healthy or diabetic friendly I made them because I am able to decipher this information for my self. that being said these are quite yummy, my kids helped and the hardest part is waiting for them to set up. I will make again.

FOR GRANDMAJAB, SORRY, DIDN'T MEAN TO RUFFLE YOUR FEATHERS. I DO INDEED HAVE TWO BROTHERS WITH DIABETES AND I AM RECOVERING FROM CANCER, BUT FORTUNATLY THE GOOD LORD GAVE US ALL THE ABILITY TO READ AND THINK, SO WE CAN READ A RECIPE AND DECIDE WHAT WE CAN AND CAN'T EAT.

To reduce the fat and sugar content I used sugar free pudding, skim milk, margarine, and sugar/fat free whipped toppings...making them in the mini muffin cups (as someone mentioned) are also excellent way to reduce serving size.

Sorry that the truth bores you ferretmamma. My negative reviews generally are about the same thing as here. Recipes touted as healthy or diabetic friendly, showing up in my mailbox when they clearly are not healthy. My opinion is just as valid as yours

To bunnerb - I also wish that TOH would include the grams of sugar in the analysis counts. Plus I forgot that a lot of peanut butters also have hydrogenated oils/TRANS FATS, so add that to the graham cracker crumbs, instant pudding and whipped topping if frozen even the FREE and that makes 4 ingredients to clog the arteries in this UNhealthy recipe.

Wonderful! For those of you who don't want to eat all your carbs in one sitting, consider making them in mini-muffin cups.
