Substitutes

1. SUGAR: for those who are diabetic you can substitute brown sugar with; stevia, coconut sugar, aspartame, or organic maple syrup (with no corn syrup included).

1. NUTS: you can use almonds, cashews, macadamia nuts, walnuts, Brazilian-nuts, or just about any nuts.

1. COCONUT: I wouldn’t advise substituting coconuts, it is the star of the show but if you really hate coconut or are allergic you can use any shredded dry fruits or shaved nuts.
