I think I've found the perfect sweetener. It's rather pricey, but if it will help him keep his sweet tooth from killing him, I'll use it. He ordered five bags (5lbs) and paid 34.00 for them. It's a mixture containing 50% stevia and 50% regular granulated sugar. You use 1/2 the amount of sugar called for in any recipe, and you'll have the same results with fewer calories. So if you're baking, this is a real plus... cookies will look and taste good.
I found a box of small packets at a local grocery store, but the large bags were not available there. DH found it online. Sun Crystals can be found and ordered here. SunCrystals website
Today we made cookie batter and replaced most of the sugar with Sun crystals. We'll bake it up for Santa tomorrow, and see if it tastes good. This is only going to be used for dad's cookies since the rest of us don't need it. I sure hope it works out for him.
