Yes, I freely admit that I am a chocoholic-the problem is I am also diabetic and I have to sneak my chocolate in tiny increments. Luckily I live alone or I would be in real trouble! I was already in love with NuNaturals Cherry Vanilla liquid--it tastes just like a cherry coke but without the sugar. I generally put it in plain water-but you could add seltzer if you still drink soda. I used to take 2 packets of whatever non sugar sweetener I had and throw it into my coffee--no more--only need one of NuNaturals packets. I also have an incredible sweet tooth and spaghetti sauce is just too bitter for me--add a dash of NuNatural to the sauce-Voila--a sweet spaghetti sauce! Thus, when I was asked if I would like to try some samples of the new products---well I guess you know what I said! They sent me all the different varieties of Stevia and a bottle of the CHOCOLATE SYRUP.
I am not a baker but I can see how this syrup could be used in a lot of recipes! As soon as I received it I grabbed the ice cream in my freezer and drizzled it (ok poured it over) then added some low fat whipped cream. Hum--this is dark chocolate--I like it sweeter so I added a couple of grains of the NuStevia Reb99--PERFECT. Then the next day I bought seltzer--I don't like soda but I love egg creams! 20 ounce Dunkin Donut cup that I had saved for reuse-added some almond milk-added the chocolate syrup plus some of the NuStevia (I am a fast learner!)--seltzer--PERFECT. Made another one the next day! Right now I am drinking Almond Milk with the chocolate syrup, some extra NuStevia and a tray of ice cubes--DELICIOUS!! (Please note-I have never in my memory actually measured anything-except once when my Mom forced me to measure the amount of real sugar I used to put in with my stuffed cabbage--that was the end of me adding sugar to stuffed cabbage-she drove me NUTS until I switched to Sweet n Low I think it was at the time. It seems I had been adding 4 cups of sugar-----and no, I was not diabetic at the time!)
And the best part is--I don't have to feel guilty!!
I did receive product which facilitated this review-but I was not asked to do a review-I so loved the product I'm doing it anyway!

I love the NuNaturals Cocoa syrup and am almost out of it. I put it on my ice cream that I make just from fruit. So good.
This looks like a great product!! I need to try this!!
I should definitely consider this to my grandma who is also a diabetic. She loves her some chocolate! :)
Really creative uses for this! My husband is avoiding all sugar and misses his chocolate. This would be a good alternative.
Sounds like something that would be good and good for you. Great for diabetes.
this sound like yummy stuff to try.
I POUR chocolate over ice cream too! I'm glad you were able to figure out one that you can enjoy!
My mother is diabetic and I think she would enjoy getting this. She's always complaining about not being able to eat whatever she wants. Will surely tell her about this. Thanks Miki.
I've never tried this but it sounds great! I'm a total chocolate lover!
My family has certain dietary restrictions, so I know how hard finding the "safe" products can be! Just think of all the options with this!!
I haven't tried this. I do prefer real over chemical. This looks interesting.
I love natural anytime. And chocolate almond milk sounds good right now. I actually went through birthing my last child on chocolate almond milk and coconut water. No IV and no yucky drugs.
This sounds amazingly deciduous. Thanks for sharing I am going to have to try some.
My friend is a diabetic and she would be in heaven with this.
My mother is diabetic and I am pretty sure she uses this when she bakes!
I love to bake, but my dad is diabetic so I have to watch what I bake with. This would be perfect! I could still make my favorite treats and now my dad doesn't have to worry about eating them :)
my parents are diabetic I'm going to pass this information along to them
I love Stevia products. This chocolate syrup could be used so many different ways - awesome!
my nephew is a diabetic, i will pass this on to him. He used to be a huge chocoholic before he was diagnosed.
sounds great! My grandmother is diabetic hence I would love to send her a bottle or two as surprise for her sweet tooth.
I was recently diagnosed with gestational diabetes an been a chocolate addicted it's a nightmare thanks for sharing I need this so bad
