My Year Without said...

I have a bunch of sugarless recipes on my blog, as I no longer eat white refined sugar. I use natural sweeteners only, as there have not been enough studies yet on Splenda, and Aspartame is still being questioned and possibly will be taken out of diet sodas.

One of my favorite, very low sugar treats are my Mounds bars. The entire recipe, which makes 12 large bars, only uses 1/2 cup of honey for the sweetening. http://myyearwithout.blogspot.com/2008/10/dark-chocolate.html

Hope you enjoy and find other recipes you'll like!
