has anyone tried to make their own kind bars?

I want to make something like a cross between a kind bar and a peanut butter ball. I'd like to omit all the sugar in the peanut butter ball, and use brewers yeast, maybe honey, with dried fruit, and nuts. Any ideas of how to go about it? TIA

Type Kind Bars in the search box. I saw a post from LilBitMissty and I think there are others. I haven't tried yet, but I would like to!

Honey is sugar.

You may want to study up some on botany and apiology.

Honey isn't sugar, nor does it come from sugar. The honey we eat is 'manufactured' primarily by honey bees as a way of making food for the hive. Think of it as 'bee vomit'.

While honey CAN be processed into a granular form, it will NEVER be the same as sugar. It's not digested as sugar. Sugar in this country mostly comes from sugar cane or sugar beets.

To a person w/diabetes honey is sugar.

We advise our diabetic patients to use honey instead of sugar. You use ¼ to ? as much honey to get the same sweetness as granulated sugar.

Our diabetic patients are NOT allowed artificial sweetners; we would rather they use small amounts of honey or even granuated sugar than ANY artificial sweeteners.

How quickly does honey raise blood sugar? Artificial sweeteners raise blood sugar slower than other forms of sugar, but is much slower. I don't like artificial sweeteners because it takes so little to taste as sweet as sugar, but companies over load it so it is funky tasting instead.

Oh I'm sure you could use stevia instead making a simple syrup out of it versus the honey, just use less because artificial sweeteners are so sweet! Don't forget that other ingredients in Kind bars contain natural sugars like the fruits and chocolate.
