Old-Fashioned Sugar-Free CoCoa Oatmeal Candy This is my adaptation of my family's favorite holiday candy. It can be spooned out in the shapes of cookies, or spread out evenly in a pan, then cut into squares. Today, I made it both ways. Notes: I use old-fashioned oats for my recipe and I add them to the pan during the last few minutes of cooking the candy mixture. If you prefer, you can use quick oats instead. If using quick oats, turn the burner off before adding them into the pan. Regardless of what type of oats I use in the recipe, I always bring the candy mixture to a boil and finish cooking it for 2 to 3 minutes more before adding the oats. Ingredients: 2 ½ cups of granulated white Splenda or granulated monk fruit  ¼ cup of cocoa powder, add additional if you prefer. ½ cup of evaporated milk 2 cups of peanut butter (can be smooth or crunchy). 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extra 2 tablespoons of honey 4 cups of old-fashioned oats Instructions: In a large saucepan, add 2...

Layered chocolate chip fudge cake A few weeks ago, I made this cake eggless, without using cooking oil in the batter, and instead, I opted to use ¾ cup of applesauce, mixed with one cup of water and a box of dark chocolate fudge cake mix. The cake turned out to be a fudge lover's dream. It was so fudgy, moist, and delicious. Today, I am making the same cake but I am following the box ingredients list, then adding a ½ cup of chocolate chips to the batter. I chose to use sugar-free milk chocolate chips in this recipe for contrast since the cake is already going to be dark chocolate. I also used a rectangular cake pan, 9-Inch by 13-Inch, to bake the cake in. You can use a square or round cake pan if you prefer. Ingredients: 1 dark fudge chocolate cake mix 3 eggs 1 cup of water ½ cup canola oil ½ cup of chocolate chips, and extra chocolate chips for the frosting 2 containers of cream cheese frosting  Cooking spray & enough flour to dust the cake pan Instructions:  First, prehe...
