Re: new low-carb chocolate!

[Guest guest]

Oboy, group, do I have a product for you! Found it at my local low-carb

store...it's called " Twist " and it's a sugar free, low-carb hazelnut

chocolate spread. It's gooey, sweet, brown, and tastes like the Real Thing.

It has 2 carbs and 14.2 grams fat, no calories per two tablespoons. I mixed

1 T. with 1/4 c. (62 gm.) low-fat ricotta, which has 2 grams carbs, 6 grams

fat, and it looks and tastes like real chocolate pudding! (use 1 T. of the

spread which is only 7.1 grams fat). I don't know if they have it on the

low-carb website but they have their own website (listed on bottle). URL is

www,twist4kids.com

No connection, of course...just a Happy Diabetic Sweet-Eater. Vicki

Hi ,

I live in the beautiful Pacific Northwest, near Seattle. LC chocolate +

ricotta does sound terrific.

126 calories for the fat grams and some more for the carbs? Just

wondering.

I don't know, , just reading from the label. However, I can say it

didn't impact my BG...and one tablespoon goes a long way! V. PS: You might

try asking them at their website (I gave address)..haven't checked site yet

but they must have an email address on it...

OK, I'm sold. I need the address of your LC store!

I have the address but they don't do mail order as far as I know. However,

it's not very far from my house and I'm there a few times a week...do you

want me to pick up a bottle or two for you and we can do an exchange? chana

dal for Twist?! Vicki

Carol,

Where do you live? I am in South Florida (the low carb capital of the

world). I bought out the store and distributed a few jars at work.

(Everyone is low carb there too.)The combo of ricotta cheese sounds

great, Vicki. Thanks for the tip.

I'm glad you asked, . I saw that and figured, ah well, just another

busy day for her.

As a kid, seeing the family diabetes, I weaned myself from sweets (except

for ice cream). Even some of the artificial sweeteners are caloric. And many

of the " sugar-free " products on the shelves just have a different type of

sweetener in them.
