Sugar Free Chocolate In Cakes, Desserts, Cookies And Brownies
By Patricia Gorginas
There are many stores selling sugar free chocolate. You can buy
sugar free variations of your favourite chocolate treats, including
sugar free chocolate bars, desserts, cookies or ice cream. Eating
these treats, helps to maintain your sugar levels.
This way you can enjoy your favorite dessert without compromising
your health. You can make chocolate without sugar in your kitchen
with artificial sweeteners and sugar substitutes used in candy.
Splenda or Sweet ’n Low are two examples where you can review
your options and add sweetness to your chocolate recipes for cakes,
cookies and brownies and your family may not know the difference.
Sweeteners From Natural Ingredients
Another option is to add Agave nectar and Xylitol to desserts,
to make them sweet without adding calories found in many chocolate
desserts. These sweeteners are made from natural ingredients and
will reduce the fat content of some of your favorite candy. This
way you can manage or prevent diabetes from taking control of
your life.
Choosing darker chocolate is the better option when you are making
sugar free chocolate as it have less sugar and includes antioxidants
to help your body fight infections and diseases. Follow the instructions
on the label with your choice of sweetener, in order to add the
same quantity of "sugar" in all your sugar-free chocolate.
Adding More Ingredients To Improve The Taste
There are ingredients you can add to your sugar free chocolates,
to make the desserts much more delicious. For example, you can
add dried fruit, vanilla, citrus extracts, and exotic fruits to
your brownies, cakes and cookies.
While making sugar free desserts, you can add low fat margarine
or fat free cottage cheese to desserts, adding to the creaminess
and moist texture, giving desserts more delicious flavors without
adding extra sugar or fat, keeping you true to the aims of your
diet.
Purchasing Sugar Free Chocolates
You can also purchase sugar free chocolate, or sugar free candy
to add to a gift basket from Fannie May, including Pixies and
meltaways. Ready made gift packages are also available.
Many grocery and food stores sell sugar free chocolate or you
can order them online. Godiva sells a nice range at
www.godiva.com.

Did You Know This About Chocolate?
Is dark chocolate better for you than white chocolate?
When comparing dark and white chocolate you
are actually referring to an absence of an important ingredient.
Dark chocolates have the cocoa liquor added to the mixture. White
chocolates do not have this ingredient.
The white chocolates only have the cocoa
butter. Both still have sugar and vanilla but that is where the
similarities end. Many chocolatiers have petitioned to have white
chocolates labeled as something else because they do not have
the liquor that makes them chocolates. In terms of health related
benefits the dark chocolates definitely have a winning edge.
The darker the chocolates are, the more
antioxidants they contain that can combat free radicals. You also
may not know that research into the effects of flavonoids that
are found in dark chocolates have lead researchers to believe
that chocolates can be more effective than codeine when it comes
to coughs.
Chocolates have also been used as aphrodisiacs.
There is not a lot of concrete evidence that they work but they
do produce serotonin which can give you a "feel good" sensation.
