Skinny Cow/Slim Cow

Silly wafers? (g)

I consider the whole thing a treat. I can't picture 74 grams but I
will take your word for it since I do not plan on buying it in that
manner (the ice cream borg will not get me)

If you mean the Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookie Dough ice cream, the
carton says a serving size is 74 grams. I figure I'm getting MORE ice
cream for the same 2 points as a sandwich because I'm NOT eating those
silly wafers. Just the good stuff. Had a 74g serving tonight. Stayed
within points. I'm satisfied.

The carton says 1 serving is half a cup or 74 grams. When I do have some, I
usually have 1 cup (148grams) and put a few T of marischino cherry juice over the
top ... makes me feel like I'm having *something*. If I scoop over or under by a
few grams, I figure it out as to what portion of a cup it is and count it
accordingly. anal me, what can I say 1 cup is only 3.5 points, definitely
doable - and often only half or 1 point more than the icecream sandwiches. How
much I have is really dependent on how many points I have left for the day.

I only weigh the icecream. It's too difficult and cumbersome to try and squish
icecream into measuring cups. It also means I have to wash an extra dish. G
I'm lazy. Put the bowl on the scale, turn the scale on, scoop into bowl until
scale says I've reached the limit ... eat! LOL

You will know it when you see it! Very dark chocolate. Quite tall

I think that when I sliced it up, I got about 12 pieces out of it
maybe 14. It appears to freeze well. Last night's piece was not dry.

It is also not all natural like the one I made with 40 pounds of
butter and chocolate but.....

I guess I should have mentioned that the points I listed are for the vanilla
flavored icecream. I bought a carton of the chocolate peanut butter cookie dough
(which is very good), is a bit higher in fat, but also higher in fiber. It works
out to 2 points per 1/2 cup (130 cal/2.5g fat/3g fiber), 5 points per cup. So a
bit higher, but not totally out of reach. THIS one I will really be careful with
the quantity.

Okay, forget there is such a thing. I certainly do not want to be
accused of sabotage since others have done that to me. You can
resist. It really was not that great - my own cake was definitely
better. Remember, just a bit of willpower at the store will keep the
environment (home) much safer.

finishing the thing off. Oh the dilemma!

Chocolate Cake? Did someone mention chocolate cake?

You will know it when you see it! Very dark chocolate. Quite tall
and very heavy. I did have a piece last night - what a buzzzzzzz.

I think that when I sliced it up, I got about 12 pieces out of it
maybe 14. It appears to freeze well. Last night's piece was not dry.

It is also not all natural like the one I made with 40 pounds of
butter and chocolate but.....

Frozen ice cream doesn't conform easily to a measuring cup. Just
getting it out of the container is a challenge--I'm either breaking
off tiny chunks or grabbing half the carton. So throwing it on the
scale and seeing all those tiny chunks add up without also having to
squeeze it into a cup makes it easy and worry-free.

peanut butter, was good but not sure it was 5 points good and 1/2 a cup just isn't
