That sounds great, Vicki, I think I'll try that! I think, though, that I'll use "Splenda Sugar Blend" instead of all sugar. It will take even more calories (or points if you are on WW) off of each serving. I've made some recipes that I've cut a lot of the fat and/or sugar out of, so I think I'll dig them up and post them here. Thank you for this one!

Sounds absolutely delicious for only 3 points per serving. MustngRnr, if you substitute the splenda, could you post the revised nutritional information if you have a way of figuring that out? Thanks!
