dictation from Weight watchers meeting






Recipe Introduction


I took this dictation-style in 2003 when I first did Weight Watchers. I tried it today and I liked it just fine. I did make substitutions so that is why it is still in the test queue. I need to make it 'as is' to see if it is just as good.

My husband thought it was weird, but he was expecting a cookie or cake. This actually is like the custardy center of a pumpkin pie. There is a nutty flavor to it due to the whole wheat filling. I really liked it, it was a satisfying fall snack.

My substitutions were using real sugar and real eggs. The directions gave it a points value of 1/2 point for sweet and low, or 1 point for using sugar, for 16 squares in a 9x9 pan. My calculations gave the recipe a total points value of
