'Candida Safe' Holiday Candy

[Guest guest]

If you are doing good on the program and would like a great treat that

really tastes like your cheating, these are as close as you can get to

the real thing.

Chocolate Coconut Drops

Buy some Traders Joe's Pound Plus 72% Dark Chocolate

In a saucepan melt 9 squares with 1/3 stick real butter on low

When melted, add organic unsweetened coconut flakes until chunky

Stir and add one packet Stevia

Optional: a portion of chopped cashews

Drop into waxed paper or tin foil on a cookie sheet and refrigerate.

These are very good, especially if you like dark chocolate, or if you

haven't had anything sweet in a looooong time, they are very satisfying.

9 squares of chocolate has 39 grams of sugar and made around 11 nice

size candies. This equates to around 4+ grams of sugar per candy. If

you eat only one in a day, you will not do any harm.

Moderation is the key and as with any good solid program, you have to

allow yourself some room or you will be doomed to failure. Making a

good choice and feeling satisfied is better than denying yourself and

then falling off the wagon on a binge.

Enjoy and Happy Holidays!
