Here's a website where one can order "American" products. But I'm sure any peanut butter would be a likely substitute.

Wow, those look tasty. How do you eat just one?
At 2 points each, I'd probably eat 2 or 3!!

Yes, you have to eat it frozen. It melts quickly.
I would have used the reduced-fat PNB, but I couldn't find it in CHUNKY. It's real important to get the chunky kind so that the bars have little tiny pieces of peanuts in them, like a Snickers. But if you can get the reduced-fat, by all mean, I'd go for it!
As for the nutrition facts, all I have are the points. Sorry.

I couldn't find the Fischer either, so I just used Jif.
"Cool Whip" is a non-dairy frozen whipped topping, and the recipe calls for "Lite", or reduced fat. However, be careful because some brands contain HFCS.

Cool Whip isn't non-dairy anymore.  I noticed this a few months ago when it started to bother me. If you look at the container, it doesn't say non-dairy whipped topping anymore...it just says whipped. And milk is listed in the ingredients. I don't know why...it tasted fine without it!
At least around here they are.

WOW! You're absolutely right! The recipe called for "Non-Dairy Frozen Whipped Topping," but I had to substitute Cool Whip because I needed a BRAND name in order to get the points calculated in the WW website points calculator. Then, when I went to the store to buy the Cool Whip, I found the store brand, which was much cheaper, so I just bought it, ASSUMING it was non-dairy! I just checked, and sure enough, it contains skim milk.
WOW! I ate THREE of these bars -- and THEY DIDN'T BOTHER ME! WOW! Maybe that means I can have dairy now, ya think?!?
OH BOY! Thanks Mags!!!

Uh, your welcome?  LOL!!! 
Maybe it does mean you can tolerate dairy now, maybe it doesn't. Maybe there's not enough in there to bother you. But, your store brand still has dairy? I've been meaning to check mine to see if the store brand does, but I keep forgetting. Maybe I'll add it to my shopping list for tomorrow, just to remind me to look....

I noticed the store brands have dairy in them but not the cool whip. I have a container of cool whip free in my fridge and all it says less than 2% sodium caseinate from milk. Maybe we need to start contacting these companies that are adding milk to their products. Duncan Hines added milk to all of their mixes and it's just stupid. There are people with allergies to milk and here they are adding milk. If your not careful in checking everything you buy you just never know if they decide to add something that isn't safe for us.

I would try to avoid the sugar-free pudding - maybe just use regular pudding mix with rice milk? The sugar-free puddings use Splenda, which causes loads of gas in most of the people I know!

It's always had caseinate (as do all other non-dairy whipped toppings I've found) and HFCS. I just bought some a couple days ago and the ingredients are still the same. So if it's changed, it hasn't made its way here yet! I thought for sure the other kinds of Cool Whip had whey/milk in them because I remember reading all of the labels when I first started on the diet (a year and a half ago) and only the FF stuff was even remotely safe.
I've never had Hip Whip before -- isn't that HFCS- and casein-free? It's ungodly expensive though, around here it's like $4 for a tub.
You could sub marshmallow creme for the Cool Whip and have Rocky Road bars instead!
P.S. Doesn't sugar-free pudding mix have bad evil artificial sweeteners??

I didn't even notice the sugar-free pudding! Yes, it's nasty... I'm guessing Bev used regular pudding.

Yes, Spasmtastical, they DO "really taste that good." It's like a cross between a snickers bar and a peanut butter cup. However, be very careful with the ingredients, because one contains HFCS, another contains artificial sweeteners, and the other contains dairy. I'm lucky; they don't bother me -- but maybe it's because I can have only one little serving, so I'm not eating a lot -- and one serving is only 2 points on the Weight Watchers program.
Yes, they really DO taste that good.

I realize it splits up into 12 servings, but even that little amount of an artificial sweetener can be a trigger for many (including me!).

Actually, the store brand (Hannaford) had dairy in it before Cool Whip did! Thankfully, it still doesn't bother me - I was half expecting it to, because I'm SO sensitive to dairy, but I guess the amount is just so small that it's not a problem for me. Yay for that!

I finally checked the other day and yes all the brands (store & Cool Whip), every last one contains dairy now. I couldn't find any container that said "non-dairy whipped topping".

Hey! That's the store I go to when I visit my mom in VT. We don't have them around here.
You're so lucky it doesn't bother you. I'm not messing with it anymore. I wonder if Whole Foods has anything safe....

Here is a recipe for a DF homemade whipped topping. I haven't made it so I don't have a clue as to how good it is...but it may be worth a try.
Whipped Topping
3/4 cup very cold rice, soy, or almond milk
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon unflavored gelatin
2 tablespoon water
Place medium sized stainless mixer bowl & electric beaters in freezer for at least 1 hour. Combine gelatin with water and microwave for 20 seconds. Remove softened gelatin and allow to cool to room temp. Combine cold milk and sugar in mixing bowl, and slowly add gelatin. Beat on high speed until forms stiff peaks. Yields approx. 2 cups. Use immediately.

Ooh, thanks Kandee! Cool Whip bothered me once even before they added the dairy, so I've just been avoiding whipped toppings. I'll definitely give this one a try.

We talked about this in this Board a long time ago. It's non-dairy, AND they have it in chocolate as well:

I never thought to look there. DOH. I'll definitely check it out. Thanks!
These bars are incredible. I'm so glad they don't bother my tummy, 'cause one bar counts as only 2 pounts on the WW program -- and I had TWO of yesterday and today! Wah-HOOOO!

It's too bad that Hip Whip is so high in fat. Why can't they ever seem to make LF soy or rice alternatives?? It really limits how much we can add. Grr.

I found it one day and just about screamed in the store. But it is by the waffles and not the soy ice cream which I find strange- easy to miss.

Hey Kree, I know what you mean. Even pre-IBS Cool Whip never agreed with me. When you try it please post your results...Shell put me on to Vance's Dari Free...I'm hooked...it's dry and you can mix it as thick as you like.........It's awesome and I use it for all sorts of things, especially cream sauces and quick smoothies. I think it has some fructose, but not HFCS. Some HFS carry it or you can order it on line. I'm going to try using it for this recipe making it more the consistency of half and half..this recipe of Bev's is just to good  not to try........even if you're not on WW.

I'm glad you're enjoying them. Didja cut them into individual servings before they froze too hard? They get REAL hard, just like ice cream, so ya gotta freeze the whole thing for 2 hours, then cut them into servings and pop 'em back in the freezer. Barbie said she ended up with a frozen mass that was too hard to cut.
Ain't this fun?

I used
1 C fat-free Cool Whip
1/4 C reduced-fat crunchy peanut butter
7 oz jar marshmallow creme
too much of a 3.4 package of cook-and-serve chocolate pudding mix (probably more like 2 ounces -- I was too lazy to measure and dumped WAY too much in)
They're good, but sticky -- I should have lined the pan with wax paper. It is also a bit gritty from all that pudding mix. I knew it was the wrong kind going in, but thought what the heck!! Since it is sweet enough as it is, I think I'd probably just sift in some cocoa powder instead. I would also nix the marshmallow creme and just use an entire 8 oz tub of ff Cool Whip instead. The only reason I tried the creme is because I have a ton of it that I need to use up (and a $.69 tub of marshmallow creme that I need to get rid of anyway is a heck of a lot cheaper than a $4 pint of ice cream).
Actually, I wonder what if would be like if you mixed in with PB with a whole tub of the chocolate-flavored Cool Whip and froze it? Hmmmm.
