This is an attempt to make White Chocolate without sugar. Stevia seems to be one of the healthiest sugar substitutes, so that is what I choose. The Stevia product I used has Maltodextin list as the first ingredient. My understanding is that Maltodextrin is a filler that is used because Stevia is 300 times sweeter than sugar. The Stevia Extract in the Raw says that it can be used “cup for cup” in place of sugar for baking and cooking. This video is just about my experience with it.
I really want to minimize if not cut out sugar out of my diet. There are numerous Chocolate bars on the market that alterative sweeteners: Sucralose, Maltitol and even Stevia; but I can’t find sugarless White Chocolate.

Academy Award-winner Robert De Niro (“GoodFellas,” “City by the Sea”), Emmy-winner Ellen Barkin (“Sea of Love,” “The Big Easy”) and Academy Award-nominee Leonardo DiCaprio (“The Departed,” “Blood Diamond”) star in the film adaptation of author Tobias Wolff’s award-winning autobiographical novel. Set in the 1950s, this moving drama tells the story of a young boy and his divorced mother who travel cross country in hopes of a better life. When his mother marries, the boy must struggle to endure a hostile and complex relationship with his tyrannical new stepfather while coming to terms with his own hopes and dreams. Newsweek called this film “stunning, smart, moving and made with passion. This is well crafted Hollywood filmmaking in full bloom.”
