It's a bit difficult to gnaw on, too. I resorted to it when I was on a low iodine diet (prep for thyca treatment) & hadn't yet found a lid-suitable chocolate. It does beat *no* chocolate. bj Without a care in the world, Binky the wonder-dog read in the paper that on Sat, 18 Mar 2006 20:30:25 +0000 (UTC), "W.

You can do it, but I'm told you need two kinds of artificial sweetener - one that's a foretaste and one that's an aftertaste. Apparently, only actual sugar has both. Just don't ask me which sweetener is which.

I do that mixed with silken tofu for a wonderful mousse. If you add a little vanilla it is even better. Just mix everything together in food processor, about 12-16 oz silken tofu-5-7 oz melted unsweetened chocolate (or oz =about 1 C of cocoa powder) Splenda or aspertame to taste and chill. simeply wonderful, particularly with fresh rasberries. Wendy > Hmmm... Splenda is supposed to be useful for baking, so if we melt > some unsweetened Baker's Chocolate, add some Splenda, mix and cool... > Do you think it might work? I don't have a double boiler. I tried that. I made 1 or 2 squares at a time. I used the microwave to melt the chocolate, then added sweetener (& I won't swear I used, or used only, Splenda). I also found it came out a tad better if I also stirred in a tiny drop of olive oil per square -- not too much, though, or it gets too soft -- not that that makes it inedible, you just need a spoon. I quit experimenting when I found bar chocolate suitable for the low iodine diet that had driven me to the baking chocolate in the first place. When not on LID (which I do only for about 2 weeks, & now not even every year), I eat regular chocolate candy (just not a lot of it). bj This is a recipe that was floating around the low carb newsgroup for awhile. I can't vouch for it, but others found it worked.

Then enjoy them and screw guilt. You will satisfy that craving, know you have brought a smile to some friends that you shared them with, and not have even a twinge of guilt from doing it. To keep that nasty guilt thing away just don't test for at least four hours after the peeps. OTOH, if you can't do these things without feeling guilty, don't even bother. It ain't worth the angst.
