Now this sounds Yummy, yummy!

'Cept, and you know me, just gotta change something, I prefer semi-sweet chocolate chips (or dark chocolate) :P

 

[ashleen]

yum
but, how will it fit into 'the diet' ?

 

[wesfrye53]

Strange you should ask Ashleen, as I am planning to try this today.

I'll substitute Splenda for the sugar, use non-fat cream cheese, semi- or dark chocolate chips as there is not as much sugar, and hopefully find someone makes reduced-fat crescent rolls. But if they don't, I still have adapted it enough to drastically reduce the sugar and fat.

Hey Gypsy,

I made my attempt at your recipe to get an almost Sugar-Free and Low-Fat version. It turned out rather well with a portion that nutrionally meets my needs. I did find out that Hershey's Special Dark Chips don't melt so that it can drizzled but it is spreadable, which is what I did.

Here's what mine looked like:

If you want your melted chips to be more drizzley add about a teaspoon (more or less depending on how many chips you are melting) of shortning to them when you melt them. Not very healthy but it won't set up as hard, and drizzle better.
