"Very tasty !! Some may want to add more heat, we found one half a teaspoon of the the red pepper flakes was good for us, but feel free to add more or less if you wish. I should be served on a bed of lettuce with peanuts sprinkled over the top , i had to do without both, next time I will be sure to have peanuts and lettuce in for it. I also used crunchy peanut butter, works just fine, nice bits. (from Diabetic cooking)"
