Low Carb Chocolate

Being a chocolate lover and going on the low carb diet sucks big time. Luckily, I have discovered Russell Stover’s Net Carb chocolate that provides tasty chocolate without the artificial taste AND low (and I mean LOW) carb content. They have several different flavors including Peanut Butter Crunch (my favorite), chocolate candy and almonds, French mint, solid chocolate candy, toffee, mint patty, and truffle.
These chocolates can usually be found in Jewel-Osco on the Osco side where they sell the diet pill stuff. Usually I have a hard time finding the Peanut Butter Crunch, but now I have a new discovery!
Low carb dieters can also enjoy Russell Stover’s SUGAR FREE chocolate and still enjoy the great taste while maintaining the low carb diet. How do I know this? I was getting so frustrated about not able to find the peanut butter crunch that I compared the nutritional facts on the back of the sugar free vs. net carb packaging from Russell Stover.
What first caught my eye was the fact that they are both made out of SPLENDA. A low-calorie sugar substitute. To calculate the net carbs in the chocolates, subtract the sugar alcohols and the dietary fiber from the total carbohydrate and you will get your net carbs. Just in case my calculations were wrong, my bf called Russell Stover's customer service to double check. And the conclusion is: we now have more flavors of chocolate to taste!!
