Butterfinger Candy Bar Fix

[UTGal99 327]

I am not a big candy eater, but let me tell you when I am craving something - I need those flavors!!

Since being sleeved I have had to get creative with how I approach certain cravings. So, there I was last night craving something sweet, particularly a Butterfinger Candy bar. I knew I didn't need the sugars and junk in one but needed those flavors. Into the kitchen I went and here is the concoction I mixed up and OMG, tastes JUST LIKE a Butterfinger candy bar!

Ingredients:

1 - 11 oz. chocolate Premier Protein shake

1 tbsp. sugar free, Fat Free Butterscotch pudding Mix

1 tbsp. creamy Peanut Butter

1 tsp. instant coffee granules (you don't taste the coffee, just heightens the chocolate taste)

Couple handfuls of ice

Throw all ingredients in a blender and/or bullet mixing system - mix well to incorporate all ingredients.

Wonderful, thick, creamy Butterfinger fix! Oh yeah!

Also, I had enough left over that I poured it into popsicle molds and froze for a quick treat later in the week!

Enjoy!

WOW! Great idea. I am in the pre-op stage and already sampling Protein Drinks so i know what will be most palatable for me post-op. I love mixing things up too. I see the Nut for the first time on thursday to get off my initial 5% off.

This sounds delicious. Try using PB2 instead. I think this is Breakfast tomorrow!

Wow, this looks so yummy. Going to try it for my husband- he's seven months out and has been stuck on the Cookies & cream flavor from nectar. Time to break out of the rut- he loved Butterfingers pre-sleeve (fave movie munchie choice). I'm pre sleeve and hate normal Protein shakes/diet shakes but I'm going give this one a try too.

Phoenix, have you been trying any Protein drinks yet? We have been trying a few so we know what will be tolerable. Muscle milk light is pretty good. The fact that it is dairy free is good for me since I have had issues with dairy since I had my gallbladder out.

I haven't worked up the courage to try any yet- my whole teen years was full of attempts to lose weight with slim fast shakes and man, they are nasty! I think I will start trying some of my husband's nectar Protein powder soon....I'll hopefully be pleasantly surprised!

Yes, I agree, slim fast is NASTY! The only way I ever lost weight from it was because of running to the bathroom 10 times a day..... At least I got some exercise!

Interesting

The verdict is ....it's delicious! I added an extra tablespoon of butterscotch pudding mix because my expert butterfinger taster said it needed to be more caramelly. With adding that, using PB2 and 1/4 tsp instant espresso powder instead of coffee granules since that's what I had....yum! Spot on. And the pudding mix really helps to get it nice and thick. I even had my first sip of Protein Shake and thought it was good. Sweet, but good! Dessert in a cup- perfect movie theatre treat if they'll let you take it in.
