    Had to use splenda baking to cut down the carbs so I could add it to my diabetic menu. Yummo! - 7/11/10

    To be honest I find that using chemicals instead of natural food products in many of these recipes a bit self defeating.If as mentioned here artificial sweeteners increase appetite then why use them? There are ways to use natural foods in cooking which consumed in moderation do not cause weight gain - 7/11/10
