Since James got diagnosed with diabetes, we've searched for sugarless treats that don't have aspartame in them, since aspartame gives James headaches. We've found that the Hershey's and Russell Stover sugar-free candies, sweetened with Splenda, are actually quite good. Also, the Blue Bunny frozen novelties, both ice cream bars and their version of "Fudgsicles" are excellent.

James has even made some cookie recipes off the Splenda website that have been great.

But we ran into the other end of the spectrum today. We stopped at Big Lots and saw something we hadn't seen before in the supermarket, sugar-free chocolate Hunts pudding cups, made with sucralose. Hey, for a dollar, we could try it.

Now we know why it was it was at Big Lots. All the chocolate in the world couldn't disguise the terrible chalky flavor. I couldn't take more than five spoonfuls before I had to quit and James disposed of them posthaste and got us some Blue Bunny bars for dessert instead.
