Cool Whip Peanut Butter Treats

Cool Whip Peanut Butter Treats

Minutes to Prepare: 5

Ingredients
1 small tub Cool Whip Free, thawed
3 Tlbs Peanut Butter (creamy or chunky)
Hershey's Chocolate Syrup, Sugar Free

Directions
Mix the Cool Whip and peanut butter together. Spoon into 12 lined cupcake tins. Drizzle with chocolate syrup and freeze. Each cup in Weight Watchers was worth 1 point. Sweet treat that satisfies that craving. I like it without the syrup and that saves a couple calories.
