We love to try new foods. Some are great. Some don’t measure up and some become staples in our kitchen. See what you think.
Red Chocolate (www.red-chocolate.com) is a Swiss owned chocolate company with a mission to produce chocolate without refined sugar. They have accomplished this by using a combination of maltitol, erythritol, and stevia to add sweetness without calories.
Maltitol and erythritol are sugar alcohols which are chemical compounds that deliver no actual alcohol and no calories. Both are derived from corn with a sweetness similar to sugar. Stevia is a natural, zero calorie sweetener, native to a plant from South America where it has been used as a sweetener for hundreds of years.
