hey, i was just wondering if no sugar chocolate is the same as labelled 'diabetic chocolate.' i know that you shouldn't have diabetic foods as it has the same amount of transfats and a heap of sweetener, so i was wondering if no sugar chocolate was the same. it probably is...
 
Do you have a product name as I'm not sure what you mean by no sugar chocolate, all I can find referenced is no added sugar chocolate?

I would say look at what the nutritional information lists the carbohydrates as.
 
ahh yes...it may be reduced sugar. so there is no chocolate sugar free then? i was just wondering...
 
It can be confusing but just remember that lactose found in milk is a form of sugar so unless you go for the really horrible dark chocolate than there will always be a certain amount of lactose in the chocolate.
i like dark chocolate (bournville etc) so thought i'd go for the 80% dark chocolate rather than diabetic chocolate - and it's vile!!!

i have heard that you should go for a good quality normal choc and just have a couple of squares at a time. my prob is that i'd want more than 2 squares!!!!
 
My son made me a chocolate mousse tonight with no sugar ( or substitute ) and no cream. Just chocolate, eggs and fresh orange juice. It was yummy and only about 8 grams of carbs! I'll try and remember to post it in recipes. :)
 
sainsburys make a no added sugar chocolate, alsomarshmallows, werthers make sugar free hard candy as in their tradional werthers sweets.
 
Once in a while I treat myself to sugar free chocolate, biscuits, etc. They are not bad.
Many thanks,

I'm glad you found chocolate mousse, easy to make, few carbs and full of chocolate... it's a mainstay for pudding round here.
