Fingernail-sized niblets

A tiny little taffy or candy to curb your cravings. You eliminate the butter and add the milk and Torani to make it a soft taffy, or exclude these two ingredients to make it a harder candy.

Ingredients:

Directions:

  • Line a large pan with parchment paper
  • In a small saucepan, add milk and coffee. On a small flame, stir until coffee is dissolved. Add rest of ingredients and boil on medium, stirring constantly.
  • When mixture bubbles and is smooth, pour onto parchment paper and spread 10 1/4″ thin.
  • Allow to cool in fridge for 15 minutes, and then cut into tiny bits.

  • Return the pan to the fridge if it becomes too soft to cut and sticks to the knife.
  • Store in refrigerator.

Idea:  Keep a small taffy on your tongue while drinking your protein drinks. It will infuse the drink with flavor as it dissolves.  Works well with tea.

Yields: About 8 ounces of taffy, roughly 12 candies per ounce (96 pieces, fingernail size). 

CAUTION:  5 pieces will have one gram of sugar. Eat in moderation to avoid dumping.
