I didn’t make because as an insulin dependent diabetic I couldn’t even try it….very sad…..it looked good….too too many of those darn carbs. Does all the carbs come from the caramel syrup because I can eliminate that as I do have a bottle of 0 carb caramel syrup? Thanks
I’m not a diabetic, so I’m not familiar with all of your dietary needs. So, I don’t want to advise you incorrectly. Maybe you could look up the ingredients and see how many carbs they have.
We used to go out frequently for “coffee” dates. Now, we can just do it at home by just following this recipe. Thanks for sharing.
Yes, no you can just have a coffee date at home, in your own backyard!
