Do you miss eating toffee on a ketogenic diet?
Unfortunately, the sweet and buttery crunch of your favorite toffee is loaded with carbs that will spike your blood sugar and knock you out of the Keto Zone.
Toffee originated in early 19th century England. In fact, the word “toffee” was first mentioned in the Oxford English Dictionary in 1825.
Since then toffee has spread throughout Europe and the United States as a decadent candy treat.
In America, toffee recipes began to include ingredients such as chopped nuts and chocolate.
Today, toffee is often enjoyed over the Winter holidays such as Christmas and New Years.
Now you can enjoy a delicious low-carb ketogenic toffee while still burning fat in the Keto Zone!
