If I would prefer not to use xylitol what can I use instead?
You could use sugar if you didn’t care about the carb factor. Alternatively, you could play around with stevia 🙂
What is xylitol? We have no need to reduce our carbohydrates so would brown sugar be ok? Are cacao nibs or carob thingies lower in fat than dark chocolate chips?
Hi Helen! Xylitol is a sugar alternative that doesn’t effect your blood sugar levels. You can sub normal sugar if you like! Cacao nibs aren’t sweetened at all – just pieces of the cacao bean. You can try with choc chips if you like!
Just on a side note, Xylitol is toxic to dogs, for those of us who like to share with our fur friends.
Great tip! Thanks Wendy!
