Let’s say you have a bunch of plain, peanut, or almond chocolate bars left over from Halloween. Or let’s say your grandnephew gave you a solid chocolate Harry Potter frog from Disneyland heralding 19 grams of sugar per serving.
You can “magically” cut the sugar grams in half by mixing in coconut oil, which touts zero sugar grams, and add protein and fiber by adding chopped nuts. To choose the best nut for you, click here. Keep in mind, coconut oil has a lot of fat grams, but so does candy. I try to find the best trade-off, which isn’t always simple.
Follow these steps and use your inventive cooking spirit to transform your Halloween candy into something you’ll enjoy even more.
My favorite part about making these sweet treats is that I tend to eat one per day because I put forth time and effort to make them. Whereas readily available candy that I can replace has a greater temptation to eat more.
If you’re looking for additional lower-glycemic but delicious sweet treat options, google recipes using brown rice syrup, maple syrup, honey, and coconut oil.
