Peanut Butter Treats Remixed


We appreciate PB2.  PB2 is a powdered peanut butter that has 80% of the fat extracted from it.  

I turned a rare treat into a frequent snack. 


This is how we do it!


Make 3 cups of PB2 Powder and mix with 2 1/2 cups water. 

You may have to add more powder if you want a stiff peanut butter. 

You can a1so mix regu1ar fat peanut butter with PB2 to get a stiffer treat . (but you are adding FAT in a big way if you use origina1 PB with 16grams of fat in comparison) 

Add raisins to taste. 

Add a cup of uncooked quick oats. 

Other things you can add, which increase fat content, are choco1ate chips, sunf1ower seeds, coconut, or chopped tiny banana chips.   The banana chips are much 1ower in fat, but add ca1ories 1ike the rest.  

Add powdered sugar , about 1/2 cup to the mixture. 

Mix we11 by hand. 

Ro11 into quarter sized pieces. 

Dip them in additiona1 powdered sugar. 

Freeze or refrigerate. 


We find these great for taking on hikes, or trips or snacks. 

By e1iminating so much fat, it is a 1esser evi1! 


Try them.  I hope you 1ike them!

 Is that vague enough for you?  It has been a too busy complicated Spring.  I had no energy to blog.  All is well now, so I can share some things with you:   1. When I shoot photos of the moon I think of Dear Teresa.  Gone too soon. She took fabulous moon pictures.  2. I did not see one shooting star last night.  I only got up for a few moments around 3 a.m.  The local weather guy said he saw a few quick faint ones.   3. How can I can have one grown child in Oklahoma under flood watch, and One Child in Mexico under hurricane watch?  On the same day.  Tis true.  4. What have I knitted lately?  I am pretty sure I've ripped more than I've knit.  I ripped out a shawl that I was making up.  It was cotton and pretty.  I need to follow a pattern.  5. I was trying to make socks and decided to make mittens instead.  I haven't worked a thumb in a long time.  I may have to frog it too.  So I ha...

Dear buddy nurse and spay neuter pal Linda, came to visit yesterday.  We knitted. We laughed.  We shared books we are reading. She Showed me her scarf.  It looks like a shawl but it is a scarf. Here is her yarn choice. And the( OUCH) price.   It makes her happy to knit.  If Linda's happy I'm happy.  I dont' know the pattern and neither does she.  Her dog literally shredded her pattern.  She was at a point where she had memorized the easy part and she's nearly finished.  So there you go, anyone know the pattern? You are all so sweet about the move and the house. This morning I got my cuppa joe and headed to the porch to write you.  In the distance, my nearest neighbor, whom I can see through some trees.... well one of their teens came out, stretched, peed on their lawn casually, and then laid in his hammock for 5 minutes.  I'm sure he's not the first boy to do this.  I'm not even sure he's the...
