Jingle Bells - Holiday Dessert Recipes for Dieters

These no-bake holiday cookies whip up in a snap, leaving more time for those important holiday tasks - such as shopping! Grab the kiddies because they'll have great holiday fun helping your create these tasty Jingle Bells. Although our Jingle Bells contain cookies and candy - and are sugar-coated, the recipe demonstrates how calories can be reduced even when using higher calorie ingredients. By opting for light wafers and a light candy bar, our Jingle Bells still ring out a very sweet holiday carol.

You will need the following ingredients for this diet-wise recipe:

2 cups of LOW FAT Vanilla Wafer-type cookies, crushed in a sealed, zipper-type plastic bag

1 Milky Way LITE candy bar (160 calories)

Powder Sugar

Cut up Milky Way with a butter knife, keeping kiddies out of harm's way. Next, shoot into the microwave until soft and yielding, but not hot to the touch. Bring the kiddies back on board and mix melted candy with vanilla wafers, then roll into a tiny ball. Finish off by rolling balls into powdered sugar.
