I was thinking today about a Russell Stover specialty candy they made many, many years ago in their candy stores. It was called “Peach Melba”. It consisted of a wonderful peach/coconut filling covered in rich dark chocolate. Don’t know if they still make that candy anymore or not. My Mom loved that candy so much, [...]

Butter Pecan Candy
Posted in Candies, SWEETS on October 21, 2011 | 2 Comments »
This recipe was inspired by two different low-carb toffee recipes: one called Toffee, by Pami on Low-Carb Friends forums; one called Heath Bar Candy by Elaine Smith, also on Low-Carb Friends forums. I first tried Elaine’s recipe and it basically failed for me, in that when the boiled sugar mix reached the “brown paper [...]
Toasted Coconut Candy

Click pic to enlarge I got this idea from one of the coconut oil recipes posted this week on the Atkins Community forums. This candy is a delicious way to boost your intake of healthy coconut oil and coconut. It is not, however, suitable for Induction, due to the coconut and nuts. This reminds me [...]

Click pic to enlarge Had to satisfy my sweet tooth today. Just went and made up a batch of this. Quick, easy and MmmMmmMmm Good! This has less than .5 net carbs per piece! First chocolate/candy I’ve indulged in for ever so long. I make desserts for my husband a lot, but rarely eat them [...]
Chocolate Delights

Click pic to enlarge I saw a recipe for chocolate/coconut candy this week and got the idea to come up with a similar sweet that packed a little more fiber and nutrients. If you are in maintenance, a few finely chopped raisins added to this recipe would also be very good, say 2-3 tablespoons. This [...]
Almond Bark

Click pic to enlarge Because this candy is made with coconut oil, it has a hint of coconut flavor. This was the best low-carb chocolate I’ve made to date! You could, if you don’t care for coconut flavor, also use melted butter instead of the coconut oil and have a product that tastes more like [...]
Rum Balls

Clic pic to enlarge I modified my old rum ball recipe I always do for the holidays and the low-carb version is quite tasty. They look and taste just like the original, in my opinion. These are not acceptable for Induction unless you leave out the rum, which kinda takes most of of the flavor [...]
Lime Chocolate Candy

Click pic to enlarge You know those cute little chocolate confections you always see at Christmas time in a box. They’re shaped like an orange and cut into chocolate wedges just like an orange. The most popular selling flavor is chocolate orange. But this one company used to make these in LIME and man, that [...]
Spiced Nuts

Click pic for larger view: I have always enjoyed making spiced nuts for the holidays both for home consumption, gifts and to take to the workplace. They disappear in no time! But my old recipe is made with real sugar and cinnamon, cooked to soft ball stage before coating the nuts. But I’ve been tinkering [...]

Click pic to enlarge These are very tasty and thanks to the protein, are quite filling! I haven’t had this candy in many years and wanted something sweet today. Got to wondering if I could come up with a recipe that is ANA acceptable, but not until OWL phase. And I’ve come close. This recipe [...]
