Halloween Treats



















Using Carolyn's 3 Minute Flour-less Chocolate Cake.
1 Egg
1/2 T Heavy Cream
2 T Cocoa Powder
3 T of Splenda
1/4 t baking powder
1 T butter softened.

Normally I mix it up spray a small bowl and cook it in the micorwave for 30-60 seconds until it puffs and the center is not wet. It's a great quickie treat. Carbs each 4 Calories 281

For my Halloween Treats (Change the icing design for other occasions)
I multiplied Carolyn's recipe times 4
And divided it into my pan of squares. (Spray the pan with Pam)
I then baked it in the oven for 15 min at 350 degrees.
Servings 1 square Carbs 1.25 Calories 79 A bit more with the icing.

Icing is made using Whey Low Powdered mixed with melted butter and a bit of heavy cream and food coloring. I put the icing in a ziplock bag and cut off the tip for decorating.

Ummmmm - Tastes like iced brownies!

Cookie Variations


I started with the Holiday Almond Cookies from
George Stella's Good Carb Family Cookbook on page 183.

Sugar Cookie Variation
I sub un sweetened coconut flour for the almond flour.
I don't take the time to chill the dough. I just make little balls and press them down on the pan.

Peanut Butter Variation
I sub un sweetened coconut flour for the almond flour.
I added 3T of un sweetened peanut butter. (Crunchy would probably be even better)
Roll in balls, press down with fingers and use a fork to make the cross hatch.

Chocolate Mint Version
I sub un sweetened coconut flour for the almond flour.
I added 3 T of un sweetened coco powder
1 T of Powdered Whey Low. (A little Whey Low always makes chocolate taste better)
A couple drops of Creme De Menthe Candy Flavoring Oil available from the link below.
