FAQs

Can I use a sugar alternative?

You can try this recipe with a low sugar alternative or sugar-free alternative if you’d like. Something like Splenda should work just fine. You could even just try reducing the sugar slightly or swapping out up to half of the granulated sugar for brown sugar. that said, you won’t want to use a different types of sweeteners like honey or agave. you should stick with dry granules for the coating to come out perfectly and not overly sticky.
