Sugarless Chocolate

Chocolates have been around for centuries and it is not going to be gone. These sweet treats have lots of types, flavors and variations that will sure captivate once sweet guilty pleasures. They are usually sweet but dark chocolates are normally bittersweet.

Chocolates have been derived from the cocoa plant. Candy factories and makes process the raw chocolate to enhance its taste and have added many new ingredients that improve and makes chocolates a whole lot more delicious. In recent years, they have lessened the use of sugar because it led to different problems and complications.  People with diseases like diabetes are unable to process the main component which is sugar. Simple sugar or sucrose can drastically affect a person’s ability to process carbohydrates. Consequentially, people who are in a low carbohydrate diet are also unable to ingest them.

Sugar contains a certain amount of calorie, which are fondly called “empty or negligible calories” by certain nutritionists and these types of calories are not very helpful for the body and these experts suggest that people who are trying to shed off that extra weight are advised to avoid sugar as well. Sugarless chocolates are now available in the market for those chocolate enthusiasts and chocolate lovers that are troubled with sugar problems.

These sugarless chocolates are chocolates having no amount of any sugar that is processed. They utilize sugar alternatives which are either semi-artificial or artificially produced sugar that doesn’t contain any sucrose or simple sugars. There are sugar substitutes in these alternative chocolates like aspartame, stevia, neotame, sucralose and acesulfame potassium. Also other notable sugar substitutes which are acquired from natural means are substances like xylitol and sorbitol.

So start trying these sweet sugarless treats today. You can have lots of it while not being guilty about the negative effects it can give to the body. Indulgence has never been this good.

KinuMae Asked: Where would I find chocolate candy molds?

I want to make chocolate candies and truffles but I only found a very small selection at Micheal’s craft store. I wanted some squares and traditional shapes but found shapes that were like for kids like hearts, animals, etc.

Check and see if there is a cake supply store in your area. They often carry them. JoAnn’s may also carry them. Hobby Lobby has them in store and on line. Here is a site that sells them.

Kitchen Krafts
Confectionery House

Try a bulk food store or cooking supply place.

Fling Chocolate Bar

Have you had a chance to try the new Fling bar from Mars?  Apparently it’s their first new brand in 20 years. 

These new chocolate bars have a truffle filling on top of a crisp layer and all that is covered in more chocolate.  Yet there are only 85 calories per bar. 

At this point they are available in California or via online ordering at www.flingchocolate.com.

If you’ve already tried them, please comment.

Added July 20:  You can also read more of a chocolate review at the Chocolate University Online blog, http://www.chocolateuniversityonline.com/blog/want-a-chocolate-fling.html.

Chocolate – It’s Good For You!

Oh, chocolate!  Milk Chocolate, dark chocolate, chocolate truffles.  Or chocolate donuts, candy, or cereal.  Chocolate drinks and chocolate ice cream.  It’s all so good, and it’s everywhere.  You’d be hard pressed to go through a day and not see something boasting the flavor of chocolate.  It might be in your home, at your office, certainly at the grocery store, and often on TV commercials.  And, yet, even though it’s everywhere, some people avoid chocolate all together.  What are they thinking?

Yep, some people think chocolate is bad for them.  The facts don’t support this thought though.  There is a lot of supporting research to suggest that chocolate is actually quite good for your health.  For one thing it’s loaded with antioxidants.  Sure you might want to watch out for the extra fat and sugar that often comes with this deliciousness.  That can be a concern.  But overall, chocolate can be part of a rather well-balanced, healthful diet.

Just remember, everything in moderation!
