Unwrapped

Unwrapped is a TV show on the Food Channel that gives some insight into how
certain foods are made. usually they go into a factory and show the foods
being made, and what goes into making them.

One of the segments yesterday was on Russell Stover Low Carb candies. The
company rep was very reticent about giving out any details on just what they
do different in making LC candy, but implied it was a lot more then just
changing sweeteners.

But they did show them using/melting huge chocolate bars that were
sweetened with splenda.

Those 10 pound bars of chocolate looked awful good.

Why the heck can't they SELL chocolate bars sweetened with Splenda instead
of having to put sugar alcohols in all the diet chocolates!

Sort-of apropos, have you seen the At Last (Carborite/Carborite)
chocolate sweetened with erythritol and inulin? Decent if you
like milk chocolate. Might work hacked up in chocolate-chip
cookies too.

Because I *think* it's not just a sweetener issue but one of proper texture
as well.

Because sugar serves many more purposes than merely sweetening in
chocolate. Sugar alcohols more closely approximate those effects than
Splenda.
