I want to share a terrific tip of a recipe with you. The girls at WW shared it with me last week and couldn't believe that I, the chocolate lover of the group, had not yet heard of these. So, I, the chocolate lover of the group, looked accusingly at all of them and accused them of holding out on me. So they gave me this super simple recipe and I rushed home to try it out.
Haystacks
Ingredients:
2 cups of semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 sleeve of Fiber One Original cereal
Directions:
melt the chocolate (I use the microwave but if you own a double boiler go for it)
pour in the cereal
mix it all together
Drop in spoonfuls onto wax paper and let set (I popped them in the fridge)
Yields 20 treats for 1 point each
Now, I can't say these exactly replace the yumminess of a chocolate covered pretzel but I will say they were pretty good. It gives you a taste of sweet and the enjoyment of crunch. It is large enough to feel like a real treat and it can last you an entire cup of tea or coffee. I hope you enjoy!

CONGRATULATIONS!!! I can't wait to reach mine, the blogger world will be able to see my dance sans video.
Thanks for the recipe I am so going to have to try it.
Congrats on reaching your goal! This is such a huge accomplishment! Yeah!!!
Congrats! How much did you lose? How long did it take? I've lost about 25% of what I need to lose. Trying to take it slowly, but I would sure love to fast forward to my goal day!
On the recipe, what's a sleeve of cereal?
Amy, I lost 26.4 pounds total since September. I seemed to lose a litte quicker than most so you can't judge the speed on me. 25% is a great place to be! Each day needs to be handled one day at a time...if you look at the finish line it seems like a daunting task.
The Fiber One cereal, instead of coming in one big bag inside the box like most cereal, comes in two separately packed sleeves inside. You just need one of these for the recipe and keep the other for your next batch! Even my kids are eating these...even when I told them they wouldn't want them because they were healthy!
