Halloween is fast approaching, are you prepared for temptation? LOL I got lots of candy treat recipes on my channel, I didn't even mention I did a whole Easter candy video with 6 recipes, but really you can make them any time you need a candy fix!!!! ruclips.net/video/AhwevfZN5TE/видео.html Side note- I meant to put it in the video, mostly for the UK and Australia keto peeps. I have not found a sweetener yet besides allulose that I can make caramel out of. If I ever start making decent money again I will try to buy different sweeteners and experiment more thoroughly. Right now I know what works and it's hard to bring myself to try new things and possibly throw product away.
Alycia, you are a genius! Like you, if I eat the processed "sugar free" candies, my stomach is not happy with me. You have such a talent! Would you consider doing a Q&A live before the baby gets here. The reason I ask is we can "shower" you with gifts, and by gifts I mean money 💰 to thank you for everything you do on this channel. Gotta admit, I am not the techy-ist person in the world....just wanted to throw that suggestion out there. Have a great weekend!
It's a VERY good thing for you that I'm not your neighbor. If I were, I would be on your doorstep every day, wheeling to be a dish washer and TASTER. I'm amazed at what you are creating!
Holy Moly. Amazing. I had no idea we're allowed to eat Twix and Turtle Candy for Halloween without straying from the KETO path. Yum. I thought I was going to sit this one out - i.e., Halloween.
Probably either my buttermilk biscuits, first bread loaf or the coconut flour chewy chocolate chip cookie so far. But if I ever figure out pasta, pizza crust or french macaroons those would be the hardest. I'm upwards of 15 or more tests on each of them. Thank you, you're very welcome!
@@KetoUpgrade Ohhh the macaroons! I think I'll be working on them a long time~ which is completely fine, they will be worth it. That texture is beyond elusive for me, though I'm only in it 5 tries so far~ & one was a major disaster so I really shouldn't count it, errgghh!🤣
I just started keto about 3 weeks ago. I don’t feel like I’ve lost much weight but I don’t have a scale so I have to go by how my clothes fit. I’m amazed at the plethora of keto recipes out there: Pinterest, RUclips, Google….wow! Your channel is one of my absolute favorites. The one thing I would love to be able to have on keto is pasta. And I mean pasta that tastes and feels like pasta - not what’s on the market that has no resemblance to real pasta. I’ll be waiting with baited breath for you to say, “Eureka! I’ve got it!”
You killed it. You made them look so realistic as real turtles and real twice bites I also think we should have done the cookie more like a butterscotch flavor instead of caramel flavor to make butterfingers. You got the right consistency to make it taste like the real thing oh yeah you killed it. I'm definitely making your recipe I've been dying for some Snickers too so I'm looking you up for the Snickers and I'm also going to look you up for the Reese's and I'm also going to look you up for whatever else Halloween candy you make because that way I can eat candy as well and not get off my journey.
Thanks!!! MMM I've been loving me some cashew during pregnancy, lol. They are a little higher but 4 covered in chocolate a day I don't think will hurt ya that bad. Definitely better that a box of regular cashew clusters!
Those both sound great, Alycia! Since butter and cream both introduce water into the caramel, I wonder if boiling it longer after their addition would help with the caramel staying more solid (although it would also reduce the final product)... or maybe adding some xanthan gum or konjac powder? Recipe development is endless testing, isn't it!
Maybe. I tried the xanthan gum, that didn't work at least at the amount I did it. It is endless testing which I guess is a good thing because that means I can do this for a long time, haha.
@@KetoUpgrade quick question. I was curious since you have the proper chocolate temper gadget, if it is still necessary to use the coconut oil? My hope is that avoiding the coconut oil will allow us to enjoy our treats without the chocolate melting so quickly. Thanks again!
@@a-trainsandroid6731 yeah I would still use alittle. Our chocolate is so thick at 88 degrees, it's hard to coat chocolate fast enough. Either way the caramel would start melting out of the fridge after a few minutes.
Just in time! Definitely going to make a batch so I have something to snack on along with everyone else during the night. Also, a lot of that processed candy... my stomach is not happy after two pieces. Have to be very careful with it. That's why I enjoy most of my homemade treats over the keto or sugar free ones from the store.
I hear you always talk about Net Carbs… for people who are pre diabetic or insulin resistant and are trying to lose weight, it is best to count total carbs. Also no snacking between meals. You will get what is called Carb creep and very easy to put on weight in Keto if eating too many calories in treat type foods. Also many people find even sugar substitutes trigger their sweet tooth and they end up eating too many calories and carbs. I love watching your interesting videos but know all of these sweet things are treats for once in a while only. ❤
Is xanthan gum required? I am allergic to the gums...... Also do you have a recipe for andies candies and $100,000 bar 🥰 I will be doing a bunch of treats for Christmas, try to avoid sweets the rest of the year. Thanks for all your fabulous recipes!
Maybe a little gelatin sprinkled in would work instead, you just need a little to bind I think. I do not have those particular candies but I have a lot of chocolate recipes. Check out my chocolate playlist: ruclips.net/video/sv5W-qgNPC4/видео.html You're Welcome!
BOTH My FAVORITE candies!! We are Sisters from another Mother!! She said million dollar bar... I was wondering if she meant $100k bar?!? I have had a lil luck with making peppermint candies. putting a lil butter extract in with the essetial oil mint in coconut butter center ( I do daily things with a LOT less steps than Alycia! or nothing would get done 🤣😜☺️)
I made that caramel, and put it in the middle of muffins. Unlike the Keto Lemon Curd, from Indigo Nili, it didn't stay in the middle, because it melted to the bottom, which I thought it would, but they were so good! Anything with this caramel has to be amazing. My only concern... my will power, as in lack there of 🤣
LOL What you do is keep them in the freezer and only put a few in the fridge at a time. The ones in the freezer will be hard as rocks so you can't eat them, lol.😆
@@KetoUpgrade Could unflavored gelatin thicken it up a bit? It’s a weird thought but am throwing it out there. Your channel is amazing, very much appreciate your sharing your recipes with us. Thank you!
If you are talking about honey comb or sponge candy, believe me I've tried. It works but it deflates after the never hardens so I gotta keep working on it.
@@KetoUpgrade yes I've heard it called honeycomb toffee as well. In Canada we call it sponge toffee and one of my favourite bars is called Crunchie. Sponge/honeycomb toffee covered in Cadbury chocolate. I miss those! They're fairly compact so maybe doesn't need to be too inflated. Thanks for all the hard work and long hours you put in to add some sweetness to the lives of others!
@@claycrazy51 no heath bar is English toffee. I've made a chocolate heath Gelato on my channel but it is with erythritol so it crystallized when it cooled.
So when you make Carmel with regular sugar you boil it again to soft ball stage and that is why it thickens. Do you think that would help with these? Or not work at all?
Oh wanted to mention since being Keto/LC I splurge on Werther's mixed candies @ Christmas. Then I end up feeling crappy & guilty, knowing the junk they are made from.
I don't usually splurge on sweets much because if I eat sugar I'll just keep wanting it and usually upsets my stomach. But I splurged once for Thanksgiving and felt hungover for 2 days after, it was horrible. Told myself never again, lol.
Thanks for this Alycia; they look wonderful, and your Twix shortbread base could be used for other things too. QUESTION: for Turtles, do you only need a single batch of the caramel?
I don't, it's just a neck holder I got for $5 at Walmart. And the temper was not from amazon. It was from vevor website. If I have stuff I use and recommend on Amazon I put the affiliate links in the description.
These look awesome, question, I would love to make the turtles for my brother in law for Christmas. You said they can’t stay out long or the chocolate will melt. Do you have any suggestions on how to avoid them from melting out of the fridge?
Yeah but keto chocolate is so thick at dunking temperature, it's easier if you add coconut oil to it which makes it more melty in warm hands. But the caramel is super soft out of the refrigerator anyways, so either way they need to be kept in the fridge. The tempering is more so the chocolate doesn't look bloomed (white coating) after a few days.
Yes allulose holds moisture and keeps things soft (often too soft) and makes things burn really quick. If you want to listen to something interesting, serious ketos interview with Chip Munk baking, they talk about using allulose for cookies and how much of a disaster it was. I'm gonna do a sweetener video eventually.

Hey 👋 try mixing some Locust bean gum into your caramel and see what happens. I want to try it but frankly, you're much better at this than I am and if you can't do it, I know I can't. I got the idea because tara gum can make stuff supper firm and locust bean gum is an even better product.
my dads favorites are turtles, I will have to give this a try... What are your thoughts on using plain bakers chocolate and sweetening it myself while tempering it?
@@christophermeats4826 cocoa butter would be good because it melts at a high temperature. Bit I would melt it separately and add it in otherwise you will overheat the chocolate.
Do you think gelatin would help with the caramel mind problem? I had the same issue when making the snickers. I just kept them in the freezer which was fine I used gelatin to give a little stability to my keto pecan pie. Might work?
@@KetoUpgrade I'm going to try it for thanks giving this year as we have 4 diabetics joining us. So I am testing out a few things to add to go along with your pumpkin roll which is a hit with everyone keto or not.
My taste buds HATE darkened allulose, to me it becomes very bitter. So, does it HAVE to be taken to the cooking point of being that dark? Will it change the texture?
@@KetoUpgrade Thank you. I will try s small batch later and see the results. worse that can happen is I will have caramel sauce for coffee! By the way, the bread is divine! I've made an Indigo Nili variation for a year. Your's took it to new heights, literally! It raised so much it won't fit in my bread container! It toasts so well without becoming "choke-y". The dehydrator as a proofer was a game changer.
I don't know what I said but I'm guessing pumpkin seeds. I can't re-watch my whole videos and with over 100 I definitely don't remember everything I say, lol.
Def gonna try the Twix bites, they're my fave. Do u think the sugar free chocolate chips are capable of tempering? I've been trying to temper the bake believe chocolate chips for a while in different desserts and they always end up melting/not staying hard at room temp. Are u running into that problem too?
Yeah tempering only makes it so you don't get the white film as fast on the outside. I made hot cocoa bombs though and they stayed fine at room temp, I used all Lily's. So maybe it is the bake believe chips. Didn't think about that.
Counting net carbs is cheating yourself into thinking, that you are doing well. That way you can easily eat well over 50 grams of total carbs, witch is waaaaay over the 20 grams (total) of basic keto... They look delicious, though 😉
Everyone is different. I ate all my stuff, stayed below 20 g net carbs and lost 70 lbs and got to my goal weight. If you are in ketosis which I was that is doing keto basic or not.
@@KetoUpgrade I'm not saying it can't be done. I'm saying it you want to be sure, then total is the count to rely on. Especially if your HbA1c is above 5,6 😉
Ok, use your baby bump along with your costume. Get a couple of baby dolls, put one on your hip and the other in a baby carriage. That way your costume will be bare foot and pregnant, lol.

Alycia, I’ve seen a couple of videos on how to make Butterfingers. I bet you could perfect them!!!
Haven't seen any, I try not to watch too much keto baking so I don't accidentally get ideas subconsciously. But maybe I'll look into that.

If I had a solution I would definitely share it. The chocolate just gets melty in warm hands. The caramel melts at room temp.
These look fantastic. I'd love to try them but my laziness is stronger than my desire to eat them
Thanks. Yeah baking and chocolate making especially, even not keto is a lot of work.
O.M.G. your baby belly 😍 so sweet l loved being 🤰 pregnant ❤️
Lol just started looking pregnant a few weeks ago. It is pretty cool, can't believe it's almost over.
If you use a blend of allulose and xylotol or erythritol it will help your caramel to firm up.
But it always crystalizes on me. I hate the texture of them when they cool.
@@KetoUpgrade hmm, wonder if powdering it first would help?
looks yummy! why would they melt out of refrigerator? isn't the chocolate tempered?
Yeah but keto chocolate is so thick at dunking temperature, it's easier if you add coconut oil to it which makes it more melty in warm hands. But the caramel is super soft out of the refrigerator anyways, so either way they need to be kept in the fridge. The tempering is more so the chocolate doesn't look bloomed (white coating) after a few days.
Hi Alycia.. is there a reason when you choose erythritol/monk fruit mix over allulose (which has no real gastric effects). Thanks

If you want to listen to something interesting, serious ketos interview with Chip Munk baking, they talk about using allulose for cookies and how much of a disaster it was.

Egg white powder is made from just dehydrated egg whites, whey is milk.
my dads favorites are turtles, I will have to give this a try... What are your thoughts on using plain bakers chocolate and sweetening it myself while tempering it?
Awesome!! You can totally do that, I suggest powdered sweetener, a little liquid stevia and some coconut oil because bakers chocolate is really hard.
@@KetoUpgrade would cocoa butter work to? Or is coconut oil best?
@@christophermeats4826 cocoa butter would be good because it melts at a high temperature. Bit I would melt it separately and add it in otherwise you will overheat the chocolate.
Add a little bit of gelatin to your Carmel to set it
I'll try it eventually, thanks for the suggestion.
yum!
Would adding gelatin to the carmel help with the melting/ oozing?
Maybe, have to do more experimenting just don't have much time to work on things that are already delicious, the experimenting never really ends, lol.
Have you tried using the purecane brand i have notice it behaves just like regular but man it's expensive!
I have not but it's mostly allulose which is why it would behave same as sugar but it will probably have the same downfalls that allulose does.

Ok, use your baby bump along with your costume. Get a couple of baby dolls, put one on your hip and the other in a baby carriage. That way your costume will be bare foot and pregnant, lol.
