I suppose we could come up with some sugar free concoction and call if fudge, but
it wouldn't really be fudge would it.

Possible, sure, right, no.

My mom used to make this sometimes:

Sugarless Fudge

3 6-oz. packages of chocolate chips
1 can Sweetened Condensed Milk
1-1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
pinch of salt
1/2 c. chopped nuts (optional)

On top of a double boiler, melt the chocolate chips over hot water. Remove
from heat. Add sweetened condensed milk, vanilla, salt and nuts (if
desired). Stir until smooth. Turn into an 8 inch square pan lined with
waxed paper. (I think she just buttered and floured it, can't recall.)
Chill the fudge. Cut into squares and store in an airtight container.

I do drink sugar free hot cocoa and it's great, but that's just not the
same thing.

For diabetics, this wouldn't be much better considering the amount of
sugar (sucrose?) in the condensed milk.......Sharon

Thanks for the recipe dear!

But it's not sugar free.......

The chocolate chips are made with sugar,
and so is the sweet condensed milk. :-)

Cheers!

I suspect, no. But it IS possible to eat the reall stuff in smal;l
amounts. In case you were looking to save calories.

If you want proof, please come by and I'll show it to you.

Heh, I know! But it doesn't contain a cup of *sugar*

Sugarless fudge?!?
Same as 'fat free' sour cream?
Waste of space.

I eat fat-free sour cream because I can, and in relatively unlimited
quantities. Eating regular sour cream on a Weight Watchers regime is dairy
suicide. Depending on how you use it, the fat-free version can be quite
tasty. The same goes for fat-free mayo. The limited quantities of the full
fat versions of those and othe products are not worth having in the
quantities that might be allowed.

While sugar-free fudge does exist, at last commercially, it contains so much
fat that eating it on a weight loss program would be contraindicated.

Hmmmmmm... come to my kitchen and see my recipe collection eh? <lol>

You are correct tho'. Portion control is often better than substituting.

Now now, she was trying to help! :-)
There are many that do not understand low carbing since they have not
studied it...

I always appreciate anything by anyone that tries to help, regardless of
whether or not I can use it.

But, that's just me! <G>

Speaking of fools.. this is YOUR typical post. Don't shake head.. crap
will fall out! ..and if there is ever a fool competition anywhere.. YOU
will WIN. BTW Jill has WAY more class than you ever will. <<LOL>>

>

That is just because I don't collect stamps.

BTW, an ex of mine once showed her new-freind-from-a-bar her sock
collection. I swear it was socks. Then the new freind wanted more. My ex
didn't. I think the only raso why she had taken the enw freind home was
because the enw freind was someone famous and it was an opportunity that
cou;dn't be missed.

Needless to say, it was a very short friendship.

Yeah - these days (after considerable wieght loss) I linger over the
smaller portion and truly enjoy it. This only works with food that truly
tastes good. So now, as my taste buds learn, portion control is gettin
easier and easier. But it also means I am becoming a bit snoobish about
quality. Oh well - there are worse things than that. An added bonus is
that I am becoming a better cook.

I think it might be possible with Splenda (the spoon for spoon stuff).

I agree. Sugar free fudge is readily available at many fudge shops,
thanks to substituting Splenda for the sugar. I have tried it several
times and its fine. I imagine the OP could do a simple google search for
"sugar free fudge" to find some recipes, but sugar free anything does
not mean its low cal, low carb, or healthy.

I could not agree more. :-)
Any sin worth doing is worth doing right.

Now that I've introduced my night shift co-worker to Lindt's truffles,
we are dedicated to getting every woman in the lab addicted to them......

At only 5 grams of sugar each, I can afford to indulge in one single one
every day should I choose to.

But it's more like 1 or 2 per week. Don't want to ruin the "treat"
status for myself.

And your point about lingering over small portions is accurate. Eat more
slowly, chew each bite thoroughly and don't wolf the food, it'll be
enjoyed a lot more.

Oddly enough, IE stalled out on that site, but Safari loaded it just
fine:

I had to learn the hard way (use to weigh more than is consideren
healthy). But I think I've got it down now. Sacrificed quantity for
quality. Not a bad trade.
