Nate and I both have history in our families of health risks and diseases, one prevalent one is Diabetes.
My father in law is diabetic.
Since dating Nate {it'll be 14 years next month!} I've witnessed my father in law actively taking charge of his disease by seeking out sugar free foods.

One of his favorites that he introduced me to years ago is Werther's Original Sugar Free Candies.
I've
been addicted ever since! No way would I have ever known it was sugar
free! For those of you that have tried it, don't you agree? So much yummy flavor in a piece of SUGAR FREE candy! Love it!
We always have some in a candy dish in our kitchen for easy access to calm my sweet tooth down.
Maggie
asked for one a couple weeks ago and I didn't want to give her the
whole thing so I broke it into pieces to give her a taste.
When the Hubs asked what she was eating and I told him he came up with a genius idea!
To add it to my hot chocolate!
My brain started going in overdrive and the yumminess below was born!

It's as easy as it looks and as delicious as it sounds!
That is if you like hot chocolate and the taste of caramel.
Who doesn't tho right? {wink wink}.
What you'll need:
Hot Chocolate Mix
Ice Cubes
Whipped Cream {optional}
and your choice of flavor of Werther's Originals Sugar Free Candies
Follow the instructions to make your hot chocolate
Remove from heat and set aside to cool
Crush your Werther's Originals Sugar Free Candies
I used 8 pieces in all for my drink
Set aside half a teaspoon of the crushed candies
Add the remaining crushed Werther's Original Sugar Free Candies to your hot chocolate, stir well
Fill a tall glass with ice
Pour the hot chocolate with crushed candies mix over the ice
Stir as best as you can to make the liquid cold
Add whip cream if you like
Then top with the candies you had set aside previously
Next pop in a straw and enjoy!
Want more caramel taste, add more crushed candies.
I enjoy them with a nice cup of hot chocolate as well, or hello?
Add some to your coffee, ice cream, yogurt, the possibilities are endless!
