Hi All,

An acquaintance of mine began making premium chocolate truffles after she

discovered all 4 of her children had juvenile diabetes. Truffles made the

traditional way with butter, cream and a bit of liqueur are low in sugar. She

got so good at making them it grew into a business - now known as the famous

" ton Chocolates " ! (NOTHING like Godiva).

Try a sampler if you really need a chocolate fix.

I like the low-carb dark chocolate bar called Chocolove. This

chocolate bar, with its 77% cocoa content, is one of the strongest

chocolate bars made for eating. They also have an organic version

that is 73% cocoa content.

For comparison:

Hershey's Milk Chocolate Bar: 17g Sugar

77% Dark Chocolate: 9g Sugar

Here's a link to buy them:

Check the wrapper again - that's 9g per 1/3 bar, not the whole thing!

And the 77% has soy lecithin, but the organic doesn't. Also, the organic

has 8g sugar per 1/2 bar, so only 16g total as opposed to 27g total in

the 77%.

(Who eats a third or half bar of chocolate?! Sheesh.)

Lierre, I'd like your truffles recipe; and Rose, are your friend's

truffles available online?
