I like to guide myself according to: Create healthy habits, not restrictions!
I enjoy creating and indulging myself in sweets, homemade as much as possible, so I can control the quality and quantity of ingredients.
When you’re comparing sweeteners, keep these things in mind:
Sugars are naturally occurring carbohydrates. These include brown sugar, cane sugar, confectioners’ sugar, fructose, honey, and molasses. They have calories and raise your blood glucose levels (the level of sugar in your blood).Reduced-calorie sweeteners are sugar alcohols. You might know these by names like isomalt, maltitol, manitol, sorbitol, and xylitol. You'll often find them in sugar-free candy and gum. They have about half the calories of sugars and can raise your blood sugar levels, although not as much as other carbohydrates.Artificial sweeteners are considered "free foods." They were designed in a lab, have no calories, and do not raise your blood sugar levels.
Back to my recipe, for 3 cups I used:
* 100 gr very dark chocolate
* 2 tablespoons butter
* 3 tablespoons peanut butter
* 1 tablespoon date syrup
Melt the chocolate with the butter, pour 2/3 of the melted chocolate in the silicon muffin cups, be careful to cover ½ of the walls, as well. Let them stay in the fridge for 5 min.
In each cup add 1 tablespoon of peanut butter, some date syrup drops and seal the magic with the rest of the chocolate. Back to the fridge for 30 min.
Add a lot of salt on top et voila!
Spread fairy dust, not hate!
