haha I agree dreamblooms. I mean, sugar is natural period. Doesn't make it right! Thank you for that idea. I think I will try and dip strawberries in the fudge like mixture and then experiment from there. I love splenda. Here is one for a salty and "crunch" craving. Instead of turning a complete healthy snack such as raw broccoli into a no no by dipping it in ranch, a way to save calories is to get a tub of fat free sour cream, a dry packet of ranch dip seasonings (that you find in the salad dressing isle) and add SLOWLY to the sour cream until you get it to the flavor strength you want. I was a bit overly excited and added way too much and it was so salty and strong that I about choked to death. Another thing I do to help with my sweet tooth is, I have a salt shaker that I mixed splenda and cinnamon in until I had it to the balance I liked and toast a piece of Sara Lees 45 cal piece of whole grain bread and then spray I cant believe its not butter spray (with no cals and no fat of course) onto the bread, sprinkle my cinn and splenda mix on and man its good. I only indulge in that when I am not doing really low carb of course but its really filling and all you have to count is the bread. I hope you like my ideas! Thanks again for yours.
