But the sugar free log cabin syrup is terrific. They use Splenda. That's because it's intended to stay liquid. But only real sugar (in whatever form) can make the cookie or sweet stiff at room temperature. Durn!  |
Actually I checked the labels and there's almost no fat, so good to go!
I'm a label hawk! I don't think it's legal for companies to say sugar free if there's still sugar in the food whether it comes from honey, agave, etc......however they can say "No sugar added."
