Hey umpa...I tried making the chocolate chips, but they didn't seem frozen enough after 3 hours, so I left them overnight. The next day they were about the same though. I broke them up into chocolate chunks but they are still softer than I expected. Does that sound normal or do yours actually get hard like regular chocolate chips?

How about guar-gum? That would also work.

Graham Cracker Crust Alternative (same carb count as Dixie Diner so doesn't change the 1.5g per bar)
Ingredients
2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted 0g carbs
3/4 cup almond flour 6g carbs
1/2 cup ground pecans 4g carbs
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon 0g carbs
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract 0g carbs
2 tablespoons xylitol 0g carbs
1/8 teaspoon sea salt 0g carbs
1 tbsp egg white, beaten 0g carbs
Mix together all ingredients except the egg white. Beat egg white with a fork and measure out one tablespoon of it. Add to crust ingredients and stir until a dough comes together. Press crust into pan lined with parchment paper. Bake for 15 minutes. Resume Magic Bars recipe above.

According to Dixie Diner, here's the ingredients in their Graham Cracker Pie Crust:
Pecans, almonds, soy flour, soluble vegetable fiber, flax seeds, soy lecithin, low glycemic index monosacharide, low glycemic index fruit concentrate.
So I might give it a try making my own "graham cracker crust" using ground up pecans, almond flour, flax meal and some vanilla extract or something.

Umpa, you are my hero!!!!!!! These look so much like the real thing I can't even believe it! I can't wait to make them.
OK one last question...have you ever made graham cracker crust from scratch as opposed to using Dixie Diner? For these bars, it's definitely important that the crust taste graham-y so if Dixie Diner is the best then I'll definitely go with that. Just curious for this and other recipes!

Susie, Gail, Paula, Doug, Gary, Doreen---question for all of you and anyone else in the forum who's had success on the FTS plan...
Did you find/are you finding that the last 10 pounds are really much harder to lose? Did it take a longer amount of time for that weight to come off than earlier in your weight loss journey? Did you find that you had to significantly cut carbs to much less than 20g per day in order to get rid of those last pounds? Any other tips for crossing that final goal line??
Thanks for all your support!

« on: August 26, 2010, 01:28:20 PM »
Hey Doug & gang,
Couldn't find that this has been asked on the forum previously...but what are the net carb counts for blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, and avocados (the FTS "legal" fruits)?
Thanks!

My flax meal isn't golden and it works great too. But I'm gonna pick up some golden to see if it has a more neutral taste.

Beebs, you can definitely do this. I myself do not like any overly complicated recipes.
All you do is mix the ingredients (listed on previous post) into a batter. Then pour the batter into a square plastic dish or container. Any shape is fine, but then your bread will take on that shape. You could do round for a burger bun.
Microwave for a minute and a half, and the batter magically rises into a nice spongey bread. At this point it is one thick piece that should pop right out of the container. Allow it to cool for a couple of minutes, then carefully slice it horizontally so you have two pieces of bread.
Put a light coating of butter on one side of each piece of bread, then build a sandwich (mine had cheese slices, turkey, and a piece of bacon) with the buttered sides on the outside. Place the sandwich on a hot griddle, a few minutes on each side, until the cheese is melty and bread is a little crustier.
That's it! Hope it helps!

It was delish!
I also tried making the bread with cinnamon, slicing it into 2 pieces, dipped in an egg/heavy cream wash and fried it up like french toast...with a little SF syrup it really filled me up, and for hardly any carbs. I'll take a pic of that next time
