Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Homemade Holiday Candy

This holiday candy is a homemade sweet made with milk, butter, honey, sugar and walnuts. It is different from a boiled hard candy. The recipe estimate provides 66 calories per 30 g, or 220 per 100 g.

How much is one candy?

A piece weighing 10 g has about 22 calories; a 15 g piece has 33. Mould size and the amount of walnut can vary. Weigh several pieces together and divide by their number to find the average weight of your own batch.

For sugar-coated almonds, piece weight also changes with the coating. Different sweets on a serving plate should not share a single assumed weight per piece.

Honey and walnuts still count

The recipe adds both honey and sugar, so “made with honey” does not mean sugar-free. Walnuts contribute to the fat and energy total as well. A 30 g amount contains about 2.51 g fat. Making the candy at home does not remove its milk and walnut allergens.

Chocolate bayram lokumu uses milk and semolina, so its value cannot stand in for this walnut mixture. Being served on the same occasion does not make their recipes identical.

Source note
