Like Terri used to make, only Splendid.
Har, har, har...
1 cup Splenda
1/4 cup margarine (I used smart balance)
2 tbs. unsweetened cocoa
1/4 cup fat free milk
1/4 cup natural peanut butter
Combine in pot over medium heat. Stir until everything is melty and mixed together. Then add:
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1/2 cup nuts (optional, but I added pecans and walnuts. Very good!)
1 1/2 cups of rolled oats
Drop in spoonfuls on to waxed paper and chill in fridge for about 2 hours, if you can stand to wait that long. I lasted 45 minutes.
Next time I make these I'll add the oats a little at a time. I didn't like the final oat to melty mixture ratio. It needed less oats. Mine didn't hold together very well as I was shoving four of them in my face.

Housewifery
So, for whatever reason, I can't make comments on previous posts today. Can y'all? Anyway, I'll make them here real quick.
Tracy, I wasn't sure if you were doing South Beach, but I thought you had before and might have tricks to share here on the blog. Are you doing it again?! Our family is seriously too much alike! I need to find a picture off all three of us together for over there. --->
Mom, (who is both Mom and Aunt here now!) thanks for the shrimp shell tip! Too bad I already bought the pre-shelled kind. I'm making "Big Easy Shrimp" tonight! You know... we're not supposed to have cocktail sauce. :\ But there's a recipe for a South Beach version. Maybe I'll make that tonight too and blog the results. Anyway...
Peanut Butter Stew
I can't find the recipe on the South Beach website, because I'm not a member, but some lady posted it here. Please ignore her awful spelling: http://www.bigoven.com/169219-Peanut-Butter-Stew-recipe.html
I wish I had made much, much more of this. It was soooo good! Like everything else, I didn't really follow the recipe. I forgot that I was saving my tomato paste for this soup and used it instead in the Indian Tomato Soup. So with none of that reserved, I decided to just add the ITS leftovers to the browned steak, onion, peanut butter, bay leaf and water.
I could eat my quickly waning weight in this stuff! I love that natural peanut butter. Btw, when you're buying nat nut butter, make sure to read the label. I found three that had sugar in them to keep them from separating. Sneaky.
