Hi Katharine,

The candy recipe is yummy with the Lilly's chocolate, but if it's hard to resist, then you'll ingest too many of the ingredients that aren't the best for us. I personally have had no problem with the recipe using Lilly's chocolate because I'm not that big of a chocolate fan (I think it's ok but I'm not in love with it as my sister is...so I do understand that some people REALLY love chocolate) and can make a pan of six last for a couple of weeks. Lol...there are plenty of things I do get tempted over, but I'm just so so about chocolate.

As Mel stresses over and again..."every body is different" and "slow and steady," which are actually really good guidelines for those of us with this illness...but the "every body is different" is something we all need to take to heart and check out for ourselves about what we can tolerate and what we can't. However...when in doubt...err on the side of caution.

The substitutions of cocoa, butter, coconut oil, and stevia can deliver a decent chocolate candy (providing you adjust your expectations), but it won't taste as good as the recipe with the Lilly's because those very ingredients that can cause problems for some are also the ones that make the candy taste so good.

As mentioned in my earlier post, I don't have the exact measurements of the adjusted ingredients because when I made it before I just eyeballed it.

You might want to try experimenting with different proportions and see how it turns out. To give you the information you want, I'd need to spend some time in the kitchen, and that's
almost an impossibility for me at this time. Two jobs, renovations going on in almost every room of my house, and dealing with a toxic illness are pretty much taking over my life right now...but if anyone wishes to experiment with this recipe, please post your measurements if you like your finished product.

As a matter of fact...regarding my kitchen...everything is covered in plastic...I can't even open my fridge right now. There is also a lot of sheet rock dust from sanding and then all of my cabinets and woodwork in my kitchen have just been sprayed with oil based paint. I've moved upstairs which is basically a half story one room with a bath. Luckily there is a door I can close to the stair well, but I'm still breathing the fumes until things can air out. Luckily, because of my work, I spend limited time at home during the week, but to live without a kitchen, I've been living off of take out salads and grilled chicken and lots of hot tea.

The price of progress is kind of a pain...but everything is coming out so beautifully that it'll be worth it when I can sell it to someone who will hopefully love it as much as I have for the last sixteen years. I'm so glad to hear you're doing the same...getting your house ready to sell because I think that will be a good idea for your health. It's not an easy road though, so do pace yourself.

Have you tried the coconut macaroons? I think those are so delicious and they don't contain any questionable ingredients.

Please let us all know if you come up with measurements for the adjusted recipe. I'll be crossing my fingers!

Love,

Karen
