Drops added sugar by about 40%. Trade-off: distinctly less sweet \u2014 lean on a few extra drops of maple extract to compensate for aroma, or accept a more savoury, nutty result.
whole batch portioning → divide into 12 bombs instead of 10
Smaller portions of the richest treat. Trade-off: none to flavour, just a smaller piece per serve.
