Hot Chocolate Update
A new discovery: if you add 1/2 pck of splenda to the previously mentioned Diet Hot Chocolate packet, it brings out the chocolate taste. A conundrum I know, as it seems weird that sugar would make it more chocolatey, but alas it does. The only slight disadvantage to this is that along with more chocolate, you also get more aftertaste. And it's not a good one. With the splenda it tastes, well, like artificial flavoring. So personally, I would opt for the packet of hot chocolate as it is even with it's slightly less chocolate taste because then afterwards I feel like I had chocolate, not chemicals, but I figured I'd share this little taste-bud adventure with you and let you make your own judgements!

I recently found your blog and I am in love, love, LOVE! :) Keep up the great work!
Mmmmm, I've done that. Sooooo good!
I'm trying to kick the Splenda habit too, so I know how you feel!
Have you tried liquid Stevia?

It's a natural herb that's sweet, so it's all natural. I just bought a bottle of this (and a Root Beer flavor) and it's really good in my tea. I've yet to mix it with yogurt and the SF hot chocolate to see how it tastes.
Also, have you tried the Walden Farms Calorie free maple syrup? AMAZING! I couldn't believe how good and real it tastes!
