Holiday Candy

My family has always had a tradition, as I am sure many do, to make candy at Christmas time. My family is making candy this Friday and I don't want to be left out just because I eat healthy. So I will be making healthified versions of some of my favorite candies. I wanted to share what I am going to be making. I didn't make up any of these recipes. I have gotten them all from other sources so I will just give links to them. I hope you will try some healthified treats this year as well.

Carmel dipped pretzels- I have not tried these yet, but I am excited to this year.

I had extra caramel after I was done dipping so I just let it harden a little and then cut up the caramel and wrapped it in waxed paper.


Peanut Brittle from here:

I also made a recipe called chocolate balls. It is a recipe that I got from greensmoothiegirl.com. I don't have the rights to post it here, but you can get the recipe from her. It was good and all raw. It was certainly the healthiest treat I made.


It was fun to make some new things. I didn't feel like I was missing out on anything.
