Karen, use Splenda, which is now available in the US....we have been using it for years, as I am diabetic...it works just fine, as a sweetener, with absolutely no calorific value, no aftertaste, as it is a molecule of sugar....my better half uses it in all baking, and only uses sugar, when bulk is required, then only half and half....Doug in BC "Stober, Karen, BGM" wrote: > I'm going to use Bakers Unsweetened liquid chocolate packets instead of > Hershey's Syrup.
