Thanks for thatFor something sweet I bake something low carb - keto chocolate cake, scones, biscuits, lately madeleines because my new waffle maker has plates for madeleines, waffles, stewed rhubarb or other low carb fruit with lots of cream.
Savoury I have salted nuts, Camembert or Brie, salami, really good steak, wine, G&T...
A lot of these things are actually just part of my diet now but because they were forbidden back in the old days, they still feel special!
Got to agree with this ...More steak
In my opinion, and it is only an opinion, treats are for training dogs. Whilst I enjoy everything I eat immensely, the whole 'food-as-a-reward' thing is not part of my life.
Every meal should be a treat on its own. But yeah.... Extra dark chocolate, a really nice hard cheese, olives, pork scratchings... Lately I've made keto pecan cookies, which turn out to freeze insanely well. (And I don't defrost them when it's warm, excellent replacement for icecream!). https://www.ibreatheimhungry.com/chewy-keto-pecan-cookies-low-carb/What do people do if they want a treat
Said it before. Can’t see why you can’t have the odd ‘sweet’ treat as long as it’s low carb. I’m with Teddy Tottie. I make a cake with almond flour and erythritol or cookies with same. About once a fortnight shared with non diabetic husband. Also nuts. Or small amount dark chocolate. Or half a bag of Wotsits. Or a protein bar. Have to be clear, I am generally low carb and can’t see harm in a low carb treat. Confirmed by Blood sugars. As always test, test, test.Snacks/Treats/Go To's
Cocktail sausage
Slice of ham
Slice of cheese
10g worth of blackberries/strawberries/raspberries
These suit me…
These are one of my new favourites too, but I'm too lazy to make individual little balls so I make one big round flat one and slice it up into 8 pieces, like shortcake.. Which doesn't really last long enough to freeze!Every meal should be a treat on its own. Lately I've made keto pecan cookies, which turn out to freeze insanely well.

Oh my... That does sound good!

Swapping pecan for hazelnut meal and cocoa powder, topped with chopped toasted hazelnuts works very nicely too.
When you make your big flat circle, score it with a knife into 8 or however many segments, which you can then cut right through when cooked and cooled I reckon about 3 mins in my microwave and give it a poke with skewer or cocktail stick to see to check if it'd done/comes out clean.Oh my...

One day, this forum might turn me into a kitchen princess after all!
