Thread: coconut macaroons

hey guys

decided to treat myself 2day and make myself some coconut macaroons. I'm just wondering if anyone has made these before and if so would they taste any different if i used artifical sweetner instead of sugar and if using that instead of sugar would the syns in them drop?

Someone at my group made SW macaroons I tried them and they are yummy! I'll have a look for the recipe and post it for you.

Ooh the idea of sw macaroons sound amazing. X

There's a recipe on the SW website and they're 2 syns each on all plans - and that's using regular sugar!

Also - http://www.minimins.com/slimming-wor...on#post3418203 scroll down to post number #7 (furrysmudge) in this link. Recipe here uses sweetner and they run in at 1.5 syns each.

oh these sound yummy im so gonna try them

Sound nice. Haven't tried many sweets but might give these a go.

Mmmmm, think ill give these a go too, minus the glacé cherries, that'll save a couple of syns, but mainly 'cos both the OH and I don't like them ( I think they taste like cold teabags lol)

I made these at the weekend and they are delish I didn't put cherries on top either

I have made the SW one with sugar and they were lovely (worth the 2 syns). I will need to try the one with sweetner.
