i scanned the previous topics and couldn't seem to find any posts on this topic, so here's the question:
do any of you know of any sugar-free chocolate that tastes close enough to real chocolate? my sister, a chocoholic, has been recently diagnosed with diabetes and the thought of not being able to eat chocolate is killing her!

    Choco-Perfection is the best sugar-free I've tried. It's got a natural sweetener... I think Zylitol. It's not as perfect as they imply, but it's pretty close. Available in dark and milk.

    I hope that you don't mind an indirect answer to your question. I eat chocolate almost every day. I love the taste, but the real reason is because it makes me feel better. Sugar, vanilla, etc is irrelevant; so I eat straight unsweetened bakers chocolate from my local supermarket. Half an ounce is the equivalent of a humongous piece of chocolate cake. It is definitely an acquired taste.

    For adventurous souls who like to cook Mexican food, chocolate is an ingredient in dark mole, a yummy sauce that you can put on top of enchiladas.

    If sweet taste is a must, health food stores carry Steevia (spelling?), which is white, and volume-for-volume, is much sweeter than sugar. They could probably give some good cooking tips on Steevia.

    Whatever you do, DON'T get the Hershey's brand sugarless chocolate. My god, revolting. It doesn't even taste chocolatey!!! It's no substitute.

      funny story: I bought the dark sugar-free chocolate and a friend of mine like them. She went out and bought her self a bag and ate the WHOLE bag in 6 hrs. Needless to say, I pointed out to her on the back of the bag it says that those candies are like laxatives. She spent the rest of the work day running to the ladies room............................bwahahahahaha

        sounds like the perfect food for anyone who's bulimic! binge on gobs of chocolate, then your body takes care of the purging.... although it can't be very pleasant :(

          harry and david has really good sugar free chocolate candies.
          like truffles and bridge mix....even moose munch!
          they dont make sugar free chocolate bars though.
          i used to work there so i know.
          a little pricey but good quality and worth it!
          i usually cant stand sugar free candy....but this stuff i love!

          just try not to eat too much at once.
          i think most... if not all...sugar free candy has a laxative effect!

    Hi everyone I am new here and found this thread by accident. I run my own online chocolate and candy shoppe. I am also waiting to hear if we have been approved to have a chocolate booth at renaissance faire this year. I make sugar free truffles and nut clusters with a really nice sugar free chocolate in milk, dark or ivory chocolate. The brand is Peters or you can find a nice selection of sugar free at Ashers Candies sorry I am not sure of the website.
    Enjoy Be Well Vera
