Atkins Diet Recipes: Low Carb Peanut Butter Fudge
I wanted to do a new low carb video to welcome in the new year. These were a big hit at all my holiday family functions even with my non-low carbing family members. Most never new they were eating low carb fudge.
The original recipe can be found here: http://www.genaw.com/lowcarb/peanut_butter_fudge.html
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1/2 cup Natural Peanut Butter
2 ounces softened cream cheese
1 cup Splenda
2/3 cup Vanilla Whey protein powder
* Microwave the butter and peanut butter on HIGH for 1 minutes; mix thoroughly.
* Mix in the cream chees
* Add the Splenda and the whey protein powder until well combined.
* Line a 8 x 8″ baking pan with nonstick foil. Spread the fudge and press out with another nonstick piece of foil or plastic wrap.
* Chill for one hour.
Makes around 20 pieces.

Sorry, I have had no negative reaction to it and don’t believe the negative effects especially if you use it as much (or little as I do).

It would not work …
It would not work to be a one to one transfer. Cocoa powder would not add the same bulk or texture as the whey protein.

Thank u very much …
Thank u very much it looks very tasty by the way can I use cocoa powder instead of whey protein powder?

I have tried the …
I have tried the original Stevia (Trueleaf) and found the stuff way to bitter. I have also tried truvia, and while good on items like strawberries or raw items, my cooking with it has not gone successfully. For the time being, I prefer cooking with Splenda (liquid and granulated).

Have you tried …
I wonder how that tastes..
Have you tried comparing tastes of stevia to splenda, which tastes closer to sugar?
Have you tried this recipe with chocolate protein powder

So, I believe this …
So, I believe this probably isn’t induction friendly. So I’ll have to wait on this. Even though it looks wonderful. =]
I’m going to try the fried chicken recipe tonite with some chicken wings. I hope it turns out right. I never thought of parmesan cheese as a breading. lol.

sounds good to me Kent. I did notice after I wrote the comment that she uses a smaller pan (?) Anyway, I’m all for 1.9 instead of 2.5 :0)

Those were the …
Those were the numbers I got from Fitday. I don’t think there is any difference except I usually use 1/3rd fat cream cheese, but I don’t remember which one I fed into Ftiday. The Vanilla Whey powder may vary in carb counts as well.

You state 1.9 net …
You state 1.9 net carbs per piece. But on the link to the right where you say the original recipe came from, Linda says 2.5 net carbs per piece. Any difference in your version from hers? I didnt see any. Thanks for the recipe by the way. It is very good and I only used 2 Tbsp of cream cheese as I was confused by the video. Thanks again, and KUTGW

Yes you can use …
Yes you can use Stevia if you want. I have not been convinced at the dangers after many years of its use in Canada, but feel free to use alternative sweeteners like Saccharin too.
July 12th, 2009 at 1:48 pm
Could stevia be …
Could stevia be used instead of splenda? The long term health effects of splenda have not realy been discovered yet.

Thank you for …
so I have to cut out a LOT of carbs. Thanks for the help.
Thank you for responding so quickly. I am still amazed or “stunned” after seeing your weight loss video. I am sitting here with a cup of hot tea with a teeny bit of splenda in it. I was reaching for a fat piece of cake a few secs age that my son left *lol*. hehe
I’m surprised how good the tea taste to me. I still prefer my truvia tho but splenda is cheaper I guess. I can’t exercise because of arthritis
God bless

As for the safeness …
As for the safeness of Splenda, there are certainly those who are of the conspiracy theorist who point to Splenda and chlorine.
I don’t promote Splenda as being natural nor any more unnatural than any of the unpronounceable ingredients in our food. Chlorine is added to all our water supplies to kill bad organism. Do I want to eat tons of Splenda? No, but 1-3 servings per day is not IMO going to harm you.
If you have negative effects or prefer Stevia, use that instead.

Wow awesome! I …
Wow awesome! I tried these and they’re delicious — thank you
However…
I have a question — is splenda safe? I’m using stevia for most of my recipes upon guess work on the amounts *lol* but doing well..
They say splenda is all natural. I decided to give it a try but it scares me to think it could be my worse nightmare on years gone by. I’m referring to the saccharin scare a few years back. Is Splenda one of those carcinogic foods? Do you know how it’s made or what the ingredients are?
