Chocolate Coconut Yummies
(christmas933)

from Dr. Bill

2 1/2 cup Splenda
2 tbsp. unsweetened cocoa
1/2 cup margarine
1/2 cup milk (1/4 c cream + 1/4 c water)
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
3 cups unsweetened shredded coconut

Mix Splenda, cocoa, margarine and milk in saucepan. Bring to a boil (stir constantly). Boil for EXACTLY one minute (do not overcook). Remove from heat and stir in peanut butter and vanilla. When peanut butter is evenly spread throughout mixture, add the coconut. Stir to coat evenly. Drop by spoonfuls onto waxed paper. Chill in refrigerator. Enjoy!

Makes about 20 "yummies" depending on size.

* Warning from Sandy: be careful and keep it to a minimum. First, the Splenda could cause cravings (even though it isn't real sugar, sometimes it's all in our mind) and the fat content overall is probably high. I know we don't look at fat nor calories, but I'm still a firm believer in watching it. But this WOE is all about not denying ourselves. We just have to learn when to eat it and practice moderation.
