SUGAR FREE EASY CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER FUDGE
I found this recipe while looking for something special to make my diabetic uncle for thanksgiving. A word on the sweetener. I have tried different combinations of sweeteners, including Splenda packets, Sweetzfree liquid Splenda, and powdered erythritol. I had the best results using the powdered erythritol and Sweetzfree, which is a very concentrated liquid. I have found that with chocolate, using artificial sweeteners with no sugar alcohols produces only an "OK" result. Adding a low glycemic sugar alcohol (not maltitol) improves the flavor and texture when working with unsweetened chocolate.

Steps:
- Melt the chocolate. I like to pour boiling water over it, let it sit for 5 to 6 minutes, and then pour the water off. That way I know I won't burn the chocolate.
- Mix in the rest of the ingredients, adjusting sweetener to taste.
- Pack or spread into a loaf pan. Cool to room temperature, or you can put it in the refrigerator. Cut into 18 pieces and serve.

SUGAR-FREE EASY CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER FUDGE
Steps:
- I originally made this recipe with Hershey's baking chocolate because I figured most people could get it. I've now found that when I make it with a higher-quality chocolate such as Ghirardelli, it comes out very hard, and works better to use less chocolate (like 6 or 7 oz.) or more of the other ingredients. A word on the sweetener. I have tried different combinations of sweeteners, including Splenda (sucralose) packets, concentrated liquid sucralose (Sweetzfree or EZ-Sweetz), and powdered erythritol (not granulated). I had the best results using the powdered erythritol and liquid sucralose. I have found that with chocolate, using artificial sweeteners with no sugar alcohols produces only an "OK" result. Adding a low glycemic sugar alcohol (not maltitol) improves the flavor and texture when working with unsweetened chocolate. 1) Melt the chocolate. I like to pour boiling water over it, let it sit for 5 to 6 minutes, and then pour the water off. That way I know I won't burn the chocolate. 2) Mix in the rest of the ingredients, adjusting sweetener to taste. 3) Pack or spread into a loaf pan. Cool to room temperature, or you can put it in the refrigerator. Cut into 18 pieces and serve.
