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:

• 20 packets sugar substitute  (or ⅛ cup)
• ¾ cup Bob’s Red Mill, Milk Powder (7g, 80c)
• 3 teaspoons decaffeinated instant coffee
• 2 Tablespoons Butter (200c)
• ¼ cup light corn syrup (240c,20sugars)
• Optional: 1/8 cup milk, and 1 Tablespoon Torani Coffee Syrups, Sugar Free French Vanilla

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.
