School me on sweets!

Postby peps1 » September 10th, 2012, 7:04 pm

love me some sweets, and as wondering can someone school me on what to go for, and what to avoid?

Iv tried the Sula and Werther´s Original Sugar Free, but they seem to be 100% crab action!

Not a huge fan of hight coco dark chocolate, so having trouble finding my sweet treat.

Hmmm most sugarfree sweets have polyols in them, fastest acting laxatives ever!!

I dont often fancy sweets, but one of my most favourite treats is 'Bounty Tots' -taste very much like white chocolate with coconut filling

You will need:
150g Virgin coconut oil
150 Creamed coconut
1/2 - 1 tsp ground vanilla (ebay)
1 spoon Splenda

Place coconut oil and creamed coconut in a bowl, microwave for 30 seconds to melt, stir in vanilla and Splenda, pour into chocolate moulds or small muffin cases (about 1/4 - 1/2 inch thick), place in freezer for 2 minutes - absolutely scrumptious and healthy as well (google health benefits of coconut oil/coconut).
The drawback is that you cant take these goodies with you when you are out and about, they would melt.

PS: you can add chopped nuts or coconut flakes or even a little melted chocolate, this way you might actually enjoy the dark, high cocoa content chocolate, experiment.
