Almond Peanut Butter Caramel Bars
Carbs: 17g




Glucerna Almond


Ingredients

3 cups Glucerna® Crunchy Flakes'n Almonds Cereal
3/4 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 cup non-hydrogenated butter spread (such as Smart Balance®* 67% Buttery Spread)
1/2 cup reduced-fat peanut butter
1/4 cup Splenda®* Sugar Blend for Baking
1/4 cup Splenda Brown Sugar Blend
1/4 cup fat-free milk
1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla
Topping: sugar-free, fat-free caramel topping

 


Directions
  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Coat an 8-inch-by-8-inch square baking pan with cooking spray and set aside.
     
  2. Chop Glucerna Cereal in a food processor or blender into coarse crumbs. In a bowl, combine the cereal crumbs, flour, and baking powder.
     
  3. In another bowl, cream together the buttery spread and peanut butter until smooth. Gradually add the sugars and beat well after each addition.
     
  4. Add in the milk and vanilla and beat again.
     
  5. Add dry ingredients into the peanut butter mixture. Mix until well blended.
     
  6. Pour into prepared pan and bake for 25 minutes until lightly browned and cake tester comes out clean. Let cool for 5 minutes.
     
  7. Cut into 20 squares. Cool completely. Decoratively drizzle a scant 1/4 teaspoon of the caramel topping over each piece.
