Been trying to find diabetic snacks for my mom.

So today i bought Lindt Dark Chocolate 85%. I make it a point to try them before I subject my mom to something new. That was bad. that was sooo bad. 75% is the good spot.

Not looking for suggestions as I have some things that mom won't balk at, but sometimes look for something different. This one is a miss.

Aldi has a variety of chocolates you may want to try. Their dark chocolate isn't so bitter. Flavored chocolates include sea salt, orange and chili.

They're small enough that they don't mess up my numbers too bad.

@Jessmari I think the 92% IS baking chocolate.

@PhoenixPhail 75% is where it's at. I've learned a lesson.

@Jessmari I eat Ghirardelli 72% dark chocolate. I won't go any higher in the cocoa content. It's just too bitter.

That sounds good.

So, 75% is the sweet spot you say ?

@Jessmari Well, it makes. The 90% one had no freaking sugar. Idk how to salvage it.

@Umile Oh no. You were more daring than I. Unless you can cook with it you'll probably end up tossing it out.

Umile · 41-45, F

@Jessmari pretty much

At walmart they have sugar free cookies. I eat 1 once in awhile if i crave one. Popcorn is the best. Sorry, no butter

@KA9ha They look good, but I have to have snacks I can easily hide. My mom would sniff them out and ravenously eat those lol

@Jessmari maybe yes but the wral roll was baked with gram flour and margarine rather than hi fat butter..

Cantaloupe is a good one along with sugar free jello.
