My son always asks for this guilt-free frozen yogurt pie for his birthday. Complete with peanut butter, fudge topping and nuts, it tastes ice cream parlor-good…but it's healthier. —Margaret Hanson-Maddox, Montpelier, Indiana

Ingredients

1/4 cup plus 3 tablespoons light corn syrup, divided
3 tablespoons reduced-fat butter
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2-1/2 cups crisp rice cereal
1/4 cup reduced-fat creamy peanut butter
1/4 cup fat-free hot fudge ice cream topping, warmed
1/4 cup chopped unsalted peanuts
4 cups fat-free vanilla frozen yogurt, softened

Directions

In a large saucepan, combine 1/4 cup corn syrup, butter and brown sugar. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 1 minute.
Remove from the heat; stir in cereal until blended. Press into a greased 9-in. pie plate.
In a small bowl, combine the peanut butter, hot fudge topping and remaining corn syrup. Set aside 1/3 cup for topping. Spread remaining mixture over crust; sprinkle with half of the peanuts. Top with frozen yogurt. Freeze, covered, for 6 hours or until firm.
Warm reserved peanut butter mixture; drizzle over pie. Sprinkle with remaining peanuts. Let stand at room temperature for 5 minutes before cutting.

Made this for a church dinner and it was a hit. However, I could not get the "crust" to stick together. I did not use reduced fat butter, which may have been the reason. I wound up making it in a 9x13 glass dish. The fudge/peanut butter topping must be warmed in order for it to spread easily. I think next time I will just make rice krispie treats for the crust.

Made this for my son who likes peanut butter. He said it was good.Laughed at the description - "guilt-free" and "healthier." It's a lot of sugar to be healthy. Still tastes good though.

I added some coconut to the crust and finely diced pecans on top
