A recipe I found on Pinterest, that is delish!! Not exactly light, but no cream cheese! Could easily be lightened up with WW flour, splenda, light sour cream, and light butter. Original recipe posted here!

If you must induldge, do it with this cookie... Rich, dark, gooey chocolate combined with a burst of sweet tartness from the pomegranate make this an irrestible treat...
Same flavor as the original, but with a punch of protein, and less fat!
Why not get a good dose of fiber in your party foods?? Swap out plain old Chex cereal with cereals higher in fiber, and reduce the empty calories and blood sugar spikes. Feel free to add nuts, pretzels, or any other of your favorite party mix ingredients!

An awesome low fat/low cal way to satisfy that chocolate craving!!! The nutritional value is calculated with the sliced almonds. So leaving them out will lower the calorie count even more!
