Ingredients

Instructions

1. Optional upgrade: toss the chopped pecans with the Splenda brown sugar blend in a small microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 30 to 45 seconds, stirring halfway, until fragrant. Let cool for 1 minute so they crisp up.
2. Scoop the cottage cheese into a bowl and sprinkle with the cinnamon.
3. Top with the pecans (candied or plain) and drizzle the sugar-free caramel sauce back and forth in a zigzag over the top.
4. Serve with the Built Puff bar on the side, or break it up and stir it in if you'd like extra crunch.

40/400 Notes

• Short on time? Skip the candying step — plain chopped pecans still taste great here.
• Keep the Built Puff bar whole and serve it alongside for the cleanest presentation, or break it up right before eating for extra crunch in the bowl.
• Warm the caramel sauce for about 10 seconds if you want it extra drizzly.
