Splenda sweetened ice-cream (And it's good!)

I did a quick search to see if this had already been posted, my apologies if it has and I missed it...

Anyhoo, for those of you who have a Publix nearby, they have the best splenda sweetened ice-cream! It is their brand, and it comes in a variety of flavors. I asked my doctor if this would be acceptable as a treat every now and again and he said yes.

I love the chocolate. You cannot tell a difference, I swear!

You know what else is good from publix....the sugar free birthday cake! It is better than the real ones, and if you are an avid publix shopper, you know how good their cakes are. Now just to let you know, they are not lowfat, but they sure do taste awsome if you don't mind trading the sugar for fat. Coupled with the splenda ice cream and wow do you got one good sugar free party! Oh, just a warning, don't over do it on a giant slice of this cake, cuz it is sweetened with malitol and/or sorbitol which in essense is a laxitive. And if you eat a big slice you will be on the toilet in a matter of minutes!

Oh man do I know the woes of Splenda!

I was so excited when it came out. Although the taste doesn't bother me, ANYTHING with the sugar alcohols in it make me so sick SO fast!

I envy those of you who can tolerate it.

I am an aspartame girl/addict really. I have also started putting Stevia in hot tea.

I wish Iliked splenda people who cook and bake with it all rave.

There are two chefs on the food channels who have gone lo carb and their recipes make me drool.

Oh that stinks!

I have been loving Splenda since it came out. I make my sweet tea with it and use it as much as I can.

Gives me gas, but not a laxative for me. Actually, it's malitol that the worst in the gas department. I have to sleep in the other bedroom if I eat much of that stuff!

We're heading to Georgia in two weeks to visit son in college (Augusta). I know there is a Publix near him, so we will check it out! There aren't any around here.
