had some the other day.it nearly killed me.i get terrific stomach cramps and bloating due to the sugar alcohols.i prefer to stick to 85%cocoa solid chocolate and only have 1 square a day.my 1 treat.
have to say the thorntons choccy are lush though.
just not worth the pain afterwards

Nope sorry going to disagree with you Christine. If you were a greedy guts and got a bad tummy coz you ate too much don't blame the choccy LOL

Thortons diabetic vanilla fudge bar is totally worth any discomfort. I ate one, had no problems next time i might try 2 Nope only joking one in a blue moon is my treat.

i only ate 1/2 a fudge bar and 2 squares of the dark chocolate.its not fair!!!

it,ll serve you right if you get the trots next time so there!

Thorntons choccies don't make me feel ill. They just throw the stomach. When i was first diagnosed everybody bought the stuff for me and in the end I said "no more!!"

There is a shop in Bakewell taht sells adorable sugar free choccies. They don't play you up and do a mail order service. I will dig their details out tommorrow at some point.

Off now to dream of Jaffa cakes.

Thanks Pepsi Max and Ebbie B. And where is that Lynda. I get no sympaphy and then thats that.

While on no shows I am still looking for some essex jokes from Kelly. If I don't get some I will have to tell you my horrible sexist joke that a rep told me yesterday.

Bye for now

Tony

lynda,s baking muffins tonight.

ebbie,where,s your cheat free sign gone?you,ve just got a square with a cross in it.is that what happens when you eat fudge.

I was off but Bakewell bought me back too. Bakewell Tart with evaporated milk. Now that is definately better than sex!!!

Night, Night

Tony

you just had to do it didn,t you.i forgot how much i used to like those,especially with devon custard,yummy.

Hi Tony

Not tried this yet from my ever growing archive of low carb recipes but maybe it would work for you: for nostalgia add the yellow colouring perhaps? My memory of the almond paste on Battenberg is such that you might also want to add a bit of almond essence too.

1 egg white
100g (or so) ground almonds
Few drops almond essence
1-2 tsp of artificial sweetener (or according to taste)
Mix everything up in a bowl until it's the approximate consistency of marzipan, and serve!

I wondered if melting a little chocolate (does diabetic chocolate melt like ordinary dark chocolate - never tried so don't know) and dipping bits of this in (cocktail stick with bits on?) and letting them set would work?

SL

eek should have said "quite a bit of" almond essence...

Did somebody mention Jaffa cakes??????
My Favourite oh how a miss that crack of the chocolate, then the soft tangy orange bit followed by the moist piece of cake, oh with a nice cuppa or a glass of ice cold milk!! HEAVEN!!
I guess you are right Tony I do think about chocolate a lot!!! but only because I cant have it before it never bothered me I could take it or leave it!! NOW I AM LIKE A WOMAN POSSESED!!! lol
I only know one essex joke and its about women so I darent post it as its a bit rude!!
