I love chocolate!  Like, REALLY love chocolate.  And loving chocolate and trying to be healthy, well, it just doesn’t always go together.

But, you know what they say — everything in moderation! 

I was recently sent a few products from the new Splenda Sweetener line, Splenda Essentials so I decided to make the children a quick little treat and this is what I came up with.

    Waiting is the hardest part – seriously!

    I kept walking back into the kitchen to see if the chocolate had firmed up. I felt like I’d been waiting forever, so I finally put it into the refrigerator for just a little. If you also live in Texas, this is probably your best bet.
