I'm struggling with sweeteners and about to give up. I've tried stevia, and didn't like it - just my personal opinion. I tried xylitol, seemed ok, but I'm wondering if it really
is low carb.... ? I think I'm suspicious because it looks and tastes like sugar and I don't think it has a tinny taste. I bought something online called ZSweet or EZsweet, but again, personal view is that it's metallic and feels like it's not doing me much good! I made some very good Dwans truffles the other day, using real dark choc (85%), ground almonds, unsweetened cocoa, cold black coffee from the coffee pot, dessicated coconut, double cream and an eensy bit of Xylitol. Very nice, and I've eaten THEM ALL ... over several days (of course) and with some help from OH (of course)
.... but I'm afraid my levels were well and truly spiked by them. Maybe I should only eat one a month ...
