ALMOND BISCUIT RING

ALMOND BISCUIT RING
1/4 c. granulated brown sugar, replacement
2 tbsp. diatetic maple syrup
2 tsp. reduced calorie margarine
2 tsp. water
1/3 c. almonds, coarsely chopped
1 (8 oz.) tube refrigerator biscuits


In a 1 1/2 quart microwave safe casserole, combine the brown sugar
replacement, maple syrup, margarine and water. Cover with a paper
towel and microwave on high for one minute. Allow to sit, covered for
one minute, then stir to mix in the melted margarine. Stir in the
almonds. Cut each of the biscuits into four pieces.
Roll each piece into a ball. Dip each piece into the syrup mixture then
place in a microwave safe ring mold. Arrange all coated balls
uniformly around the ring mold. Pour any remaining syrup over the
balls in the mold.
Microwave on medium (50% power) for 5 to 6 minutes, turning the
mold 1/4 turn after each two minutes. Remove from oven and
immediately cover with waxed paper. Allow to sit undisturbed 5
minutes; then turn out onto a serving dish. Divide into 10 servings.
