Tip provided by: Mariana Ruiz Morales Do you love eating chocolate but fear all those calories? With Splenda there’s no problem! Try this delicious alternative: Chocolate Syrup or Sweet Ingredients:

• - 1 can of light evaporated milk (skim milk)
• - ½ cup of granulated Splenda
• - ¼ cup of cocoa powder dissolved in two tablespoons of water

Procedure: Mix all the ingredients and place over medium heat, stirring constantly. Once it boils, reduce the heat and continue stirring until you reach the desired consistency, either for chocolate syrup (which can accompany a light yogurt ice cream) or let it thicken a bit more for chocolate candy. Remove from heat. As it cools, the candy will thicken even more and you can form chocolate “balls” with a spoon. A delicious craving and very low in calories.
