Chocolate Kisses - diabetic friendly

Ingredients:

1 cup heavy cream
4 oz lite cream cheese
1 pkg sugar free chocolate pudding mix
2 tsp. sugar free peanut butter (optional)

Directions:

With an electric mixer, mix the cream and cream cheese together, and then blend in the pudding mix. It will be very thick, like frosting.

Use a piping bag with either a large round tip (#12) or star tip, pipe the mixture into approximately 200 kisses, onto wax paper on a cookie sheet. You can also use a squeeze bottle with the tip cut a little larger.

Freeze until hard, then remove and store in a covered container in the freezer.
