Who needs candy when you've got dried mango around??? Dehydrating fruit makes the sugars ultra concentrated and in mangoes case ... they become so sweet that they taste like candy!!! Without all the processed sugars of course! It's au natural baby! Fill up the candy dish!
Along the same lines, I hear dehydrated watermelon tastes like candy too. But with the high water content, I'm not sure how long it would take to dry it. If you try it, be sure to let me know!
Know of any other healthier candy options? Let me know because I'd really love to ban all the candy from my house!
Hi! You have a wonderful blog here! I am looking forward to coming back and seeing all the great things you have here.
ReplyDeleteBy the way thank you for coming to visit my blog as well.
Well thank you Heather! I'm so glad you stopped by! :)
ReplyDeleteMy dad always like dried papaya and pineapple because it was similar to eating sugar crystals; I'm not into sweet things, and I really don't like dried fruits...
ReplyDelete...except for dried apples. I love them!
It's a good goal to ban candy from the house; yesterday I watched 15 kids go crazy and explode with chaotic energy from candy consumption. White sugar really is crack.
Lol! It really is like crack! Dh and my kids are soo addicted to it! That's why I really hope to give them some different alternatives! Hopefully it will work! :D
