Wow… That was a revelation… Maple Syrup

[LuFins Dad]

Just got back from taking Finley sled riding. I made him a cup of cocoa. Since Karla’s gone 80% crunchy, that means using pure cocoa powder and typically a little honey or other natural sweetener…

On a lark, I tried using maple syrup instead of honey. Good lord, that was the greatest cocoa/hot chocolate that I’ve ever tasted. Finley downed 2 mugs…

Of course! FFS, my wife is even buying dye-free handsoap. Do you think she’s going to let Log Cabin in this house?

There's an eternal divide in this house between maple syrup and honey. I'm on the maple syrup side for almost everything, except for sweeteners in brines for chicken, where I prefer honey.

That's what we use. However, in winter we'll often have a hot chocolate with salted caramel syrup and whipped cream. All sugar free, I might add.

Caramel, by definition, is sugar…

Yes, I use honey for my lime marinade for fajitas. I don’t think maple syrup would work well with that… Though I am considering it as part of a coffee rib sauce..

Maple syrup also works well in an Old Fashioned in place of simple syrup.

I just add the whipped cream. I like unsweetened bitter chocolate. Don’t have much of a sweet tooth. Never have.

That is as offensive as Tofu Bacon…

Caramel is by its very definition, sugar.
