💡Recipe FAQ's
Sugar free chocolate usually is sweetened with a sugar substitute that has no effect on raising your blood sugar. You should always consult with your family physician to ensure this is something you can eat.
For this recipe, I used sugar-free Hersheys bars. They worked great. Feel free to substitute another brand if you prefer.

As a diabetic I am planning on making these. However, due to a allergic reaction to most sugar-free candy I like to use real dark Ghirardelli chips; which has low sugar. I can use chocolate made with Splenda or Stevia.
Lois says
You need to use whichever sugar free chocolate works for your body. Let me know how the recipe turns out with the dark chocolate!
Rebecca Smith - Glutarama says
These look lovely and ever so simple too. I have to say my daughter who is type 1 diabetic will love these, but I'll make then with normal chocolate as we can cater for the sugar with an insulin bolus - also worth noting that in the UK sugar free chocolate is usually made with sweeteners that end in -'ose' like dextrose or maltose, anything with an 'ose on the end of it will still give you a spike in blood sugars but not as great as normal glucose. #MealPlanMonday
