BarbA 10 Posted July 30, 2009 As you wrote it, i came up with the following in Mastercook. It didn't say how many servings. I guestimated 12, for an 8 x 8 pan - 4.05 POints Per Serving (excluding unknown items): 161 Calories; 10g Fat (54.0% calories from fat); 6g Protein; 13g Carbohydrate; trace Dietary Fiber; 61mg Cholesterol; 301mg Sodium. Exchanges: 1/2 Grain(Starch); 1/2 Lean Meat; 0 Fruit; 1 1/2 Fat; 1/2 Other Carbohydrates. 9 bars - 5.16 points. Per Serving (excluding unknown items): 214 Calories; 13g Fat (54.0% calories from fat); 7g Protein; 17g Carbohydrate; 1g Dietary Fiber; 82mg Cholesterol; 402mg Sodium. Exchanges: 1/2 Grain(Starch); 1 Lean Meat; 0 Fruit; 2 Fat; 1/2 Other Carbohydrates. To lower the points, you could alter the recipe with egg beaters, FF cream cheese, sour cream, and decrease the light butter ... but I don't know how it would turn out. Success is the sum of small efforts repeated day in and day out. Barb A Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
