Caramel Almond Bar

So I recently found out that my mom is pre-diabetic. Since I'm living at home I have to make food that my parents can eat unless I want to gain even more weight. My goal for this year is to post 1 diabetic friendly recipe per month. I apologize for the blurriness of my photo I currently have a new camera on my birthday wish list.


Ingredients:

• 1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour 
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 
• 1/2 teaspoon salt 
• 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
• 1/2 cup sugar substitute 
• 1/2 cup margarine , softened
• 1 teaspoon almond extract 
• 1 large egg
• 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate morsel
• 1/2 cup caramel morsels
