Toffee Twigs

How to get your fiber in each day............make it more paletable: 
Okay, these are crazy but believe it or not?  Delicious.  So................

First I started with a batch of toffee inspired by Love Veggies and Yoga's Chocolate Saltine Toffee recipe, check it out.

Then I found these twigs on sale at Whole Foods today. 


I remembered my husband making fun of me last spring when I brought a bag of these "Sticks & Twigs Pretzels" along with a bunch of "healthy" snacks on a week long driving trip we went on.  I was in the process of losing over 75 pounds and didn't want to screw it up by eating junk for a week.  Anyway, the "twigs" were pretty tough to munch on but now I have a way to make them a craving instead.........how?  Cover them in Toffee of course.

Okay so they're not eating a salad with a light vinaigrette but once in a while you just have to make something healthy taste great.  These twigs are great and store well in the fridge so you can just take a bite even some days to snip that craving for sweet and salty.  Super easy to make and everything cost about $5 so a good buy as well.  Pretzels would work as well or even chips.  Averie's toffee recipe goes great with this salty combination so give them a try.

To make these Toffee Covered Twigs, just cook up a batch of toffee, I suggest using this recipe http://www.loveveggiesandyoga.com/2011/12/chocolate-saltine-toffee.html and I used "Palm Sugar" instead of Brown.  Then break up some of the Twigs, drop them in the bottem of a cupcake pan and pour a little of the toffee over the twigs.  Put in the fridge to cool and there you go....
"Twigs" are okay.  Toffee covered Twigs are awesome!
