    You mention cream cheese, splenda, and cocoa in the directions, but they're not in the ingredient list. Sounds like the calorie content could be pretty far off. - 3/2/13

    The serving size in not even believable. I used whipping cream instead of cool whip. This lowered the carbs. Also used 1/2 cup pecan meal. I got 8 servings. - 12/5/12
