This is too good.

Ingredients:
Old Fashioned Peanut Butter--non hydrogenated--Laura Scudders is great.
Hershey's Cocoa (unsweetened--the crude stuff--brown carton with rounded
corners and plastic lid)
Chopped Pecans
Splenda

OK..mix it together and eat. Be generous with the cocoa and go easy on the
Splenda.

How much of each ingredient?
What about watching that PB! One tbl is LOADED with calories.

I've made this as a snack quite a few times. It is really good. You can use
any kind of nut, but I'd agree that pecans are the best, with walnuts
second. Form it into balls and roll in dry cocoa or finely chopped nuts, if
you want a more formal presentation. Sesame seeds would be pretty also.

Caution - this is really high in calories, as others have mentioned. But way
better for you than grabbing the Twinkies.

Thanks for the tips on presentation. Dusting the little treats with
cocoa and rolling in sesame seeds works great. I put them in the freezer
for 20 minutes before serving and that made them even better.

I had seen something (might have even been on this forum), where the
combination was unsweetend cocoa, splenda, heavy cream and a bit of pb to
sort of hold it together. I think it might have even been baked, but I'm
not too sure. It sounded good and eaten in moderation it appeared to be a
nice change from the old ricotta cheese, cocoa and splenda combination.

The subject is low carb, not low calories. Every one of the
ingredients, except Splenda, is loaded with calories.

I decided to try the OP's suggestion and came up with the following that
worked quite nicely. This is great for people like me who are
lactose-intolerant.

1/4 cup DaVinci SF Syrup (I used vanilla)
2 tbsp cocoa powder
2 tbsp unsweetened natural peanut butter
1 tbsp chopped pecans (or nut of your choice)

Heat the syrup in the microwave for about 30 seconds. Stir in the cocoa
powder until melted. Add peanut butter and microwave another 30 seconds to
make it easier to combine, then mix well. Stir in nuts if using. It will
be quite stiff so add a little water to the syrup before microwaving if you
want it runnier.

When I'm hungry for chocolate. I melt a square of unsweetened chocolate,
and sweeten it with whatever DaVinci SF syrup I'm in the mood for, put
it on a piece of foil and chill. Sometimes I add a few walnut pieces.
Jenny put me on to sweetening it with the syrups since it makes it lower
carb and also lower calorie without the cream or butter, and it still
tastes good to me. YMMV

Oh... another tip. When making things like this, adding some protein powder
can help firm them up so they don't get so soft at room temperature. You'll
want to use a protein powder with a pleasant, neutral taste. Probably more
like a whey type, rather than a soy-based powder.
