Cranberry Walnut Squares
This delicious dessert is lower in calories, carbs and sugar, thanks to a cutting-edge, all-natural sweetener called erythritol. Erythritol is a “sugar alcohol” that requires no insulin to metabolize and has no impact on blood sugar. This makes it perfect for weight watchers and diabetics alike. You can use erythritol cup for cup just like sugar in your favorite recipes.
