Reeses' peanut butter cups are my weakness too! It's been so hard the last few weeks walking throug the stores and seeing the humongous packages of those eggs! I find one thing that helps if you're a peanut butter lover, it two teaspoons of peanut butter at the end of the night eaten very slowly, eventually you won't crave sweet things or peanut butter at all.  

I know it's not quite the same thing but there is such a thing as sugar free pb cups. I think they're made by whitman's. I've seen them in the aisle with the diabetic foods and also by where they sell slimfast and energy bars. I'd check the calories on them first but it might be a good way to satisfy the craving sometimes without falling off the wagon.  

I eat the sugar free reese peanut butter cups, they have them here in Seattle. They are better than the real thing to me. And only 34 calories each. VERY Satisfying. Can you find them there? XOXO 

I haven't tried this yet but was surfing the web and found this recipe yesterday. Reeses' are definately a weakness of mine too, let me know what you think if you make it..... INGREDIENTS 1 no sugar added fudgsicle 2 tablespoons peanut butter 2 tablespoons light frozen whipped topping or whipping cream DIRECTIONS Take a no sugar added fudgsicle and scrape it off the stick (microwaving it for about 15 seconds helps). Then add 1-2 tablespoons of peanut butter and 1-2 tablespoons of light frozen whipped topping or whipping cream. Mix together and enjoy
