White Chocolate Protein Muddy Buddies

Have you guys tried my Protein Muddy Buddies? Well if you tried them and liked them these bad boys are very similar but white chocolate and vanilla yum yum. This is a good snack instead of that chocolate candy bar you are dying to eat! I had a fun little play date and gave these to the kiddos and they loved them. I added pink food coloring to mine to make them a Valentines snack but you could any color you like {or not}.

Here Are Your Ingredients:

Crust:

1/4 cup canola oil

1/4 cup low fat butter (I used I Can't Believe It's NOT Butter - light)

2 cups Trivia

2 large egg whites 

1 large egg

2 3/4 cup flour white or wheat (I used wheat)

2 teaspoons baking soda

1/8 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon no fat plain greek yogurt

Frosting:

8 ounces cream cheese - fat free

1/2 cup Trivia

Toppings:

8 strawberries

3 kiwi

3 cutie oranges

handful blueberries

Here Is What You Do:

Mix together butter, oil and sugar with electric hand mixer until smooth. Now add in eggs, flour and yogurt. Mix until smooth. Let refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour baking dish.  Press in pan. To spread evenly get hands wet it makes it easier to spread with your hands. Cook for 25-50 minutes until fork comes out clean from center. Cream together Trivia and cream cheese until smooth. Spread on top of cookie. Cut fruit to your desire and decorate away.

I wanted to point something out before you go.. see the foil from the cream cheese after the cream cheese was added to bowl. See how clean the foil is? NONE of the cream cheese gets stuck to the wrapper when its fat free. However, I am sure you have noticed when it is NOT fat free you have to scrape off the cream cheese from the foil. I imagine that this is the same thing that happens to fat in our body. When you eat fat free cream cheese you won't have to scrape that fat off of your butt or love handles. Something to think about :).
