I'd risk clogged arteries if I could eat chocolate again without getting fat, heh...

Jackie, that candy store... Find out what the ingredients are. It may contain Splenda plus other things like maltitol. The Splenda is fine. The problem is, maltitol is often used as a bulking agent in these "low" carb chocolates because Splenda can't give the texture to chocolate, no thickening, no stickiness.

I have to admit that I endulge in the candies as well. But of course only on a limited basis. It helps to have a "subsitution" for the normal chocolate I would have been eating before I discovered this WOL.

Not gonna quit!
