Thread Name: BS: What's your favourite candy?
Subject: RE: BS: What's your favourite candy?
Good news for the insulin resistance crowd..you can, as Alice said, make very good things out of stevia. Just take your standard fudge recipe, and use stevia instead of sugar..like..1/3 teaspoon instead of a cup of sugar..honest. That is of the white powder. You can also make very good cheesecake with stevia. Don't think of baked goods because you shouldn't be eating them anyway. Unless it is like a chocolate decadance or brownie like thing, which I think you could make with stevia and almond powder or something low-glycemic.

Bad news is that a fair percentage of people find stevia has a bitter aftertaste. But lots don't so try it. It is a herb, you can grow it yourself, and it is actually supposed to be beneficial to diabetics in regulating blood sugar.
