No Carb Pig Candy

Unknown

With all the talk about this wonderful treat, I will add my dimes worth. We usually low carb thru the Winter and Pig Candy is one of our sweeet treats and we keep it made up all the time. I make a hot for myself and a mild for the wife. I use the Sugar Twin Granulated Brown, calorie free, no carb, brown sugar replacement. It is now very hard to find and we do order by the case. They just can't make it fast enough. [p][p][p][p]Dave

Old Dave,
Would Splenda be an option since the sugar twin is hard to find? -RP

AZRP,[p]The Splenda Brown Sugar Blend does have carbs at about 4 grams per tsp. However, the standard Splenda might work but I have not tried it. [p]Dave

Old Dave,
Is it to late to trick or treat? That looks yummy. I think that will have to be my next treat. Thanks for the post. AZ

<p />AZRP,[p]Contrary to some of his fast cooking methods, Ed over at kickassbbq uses Splenda on his pig candy but cooks at 250-275 for about 45 minutes. It comes out with a glaze of sorts.[p]Splenda is not specifically mentioned, but that is actually what he uses.[p]~thirdeye~

Old Dave,
I didn't know Splenda had a brown sugar. -RP

AZRP,
Sounds good to me as well. One doesn't hurt for ideas for cooking when you read this forum. AZ
