Sugar Free Chocolate for Candymaking
Something else that you can do is buy the unsweetened baking squares (a box of eight 1 oz. squares is $2-3), melt it down, sweeten with splenda or stevia, and then add little bits of milk or cream until it reaches the consistency you want. (You'd use more milk for a sauce - like for ice cream topping - and less milk if you want to use it as a chocolate coating.)

Help for a Reader - Making Sugar-Free Chocolates at Home
In our last newsletter one reader wanted more information on making homemade sugar-free chocolates, instead of buying them at such a high cost in the stores.
Here is one helpful answer I received from another reader so far:
Helen F. asked about chocolate coating suitable for diabetics so she could make her own sweet treats at a more reasonable cost.....and I have found that "carob" chips work great for children with sensitivity to sugar and/or chocolate and need a substitute. Also, I have found that Kitchen Krafts offers candy coating for diabetics....and have used this coating just this past Christmas season for making lots and lots of chocolate treats for all the diabetics in our family! It's really a great sugar-free coating that looks and tastes like the real thing! Their website is

Readers Questions - Finding Sugar-Free Chocolate to Make Handmade Chocolates & Candies
Today's Reader Question of the Day is from: Helen F
who asks:
"I am diabetic and would like to make my own sugar free chocolate candy. The purchased candy is so expensive. Can I use the chocolate chips in the bag to cover nuts, pretzels, etc. or is there a special chocolate I should use. If there is such a thing as sugar free chocolate coating, where can it be purchased as I have never seen it. I have tried asking this question to several sources and no one seems to be able to give me an answer so I am going to the "experts".
Have an answer for Helen? Then email it to me at christina@happyslob.com and thanks for helping out!
