One of the ingredients in the chocolate chip cookies is the evil maltitol.
Is there anything else that can be used, or can the maltitol just be omitted? Otherwise, there are a lot of us who just could not eat this cookie, because we know what maltitol does to our innards.
Looks good, though. I really liked the Eat Well Be Well chocolate chips. Too bad they went out of business. Now we have another source - fantastic!
THANKS D! I didn't want to mess with Dana's recipe, but I wouldn't use the maltitol either! Instead, I'd use erythritol or oligofructose in place of it. My tummy would thank me for doign that. :D
The second recipe has ZERO maltitol, so it may be better. By the way, this is the same recipe as the Eat Well, Be Well chips, so you'll LOVE these, too!
Have you actually tried these Jimmy?
I'm wondering because I ordered them all excited about the prospect of maltitol-free chocolate chips. They are AWFUL. There's a weird bitterness to them. I'm trying to figure out how to mask the disgusting off flavor instead of tossing 'em. So disappointing! :(
Hey Lo, I'm sorry you didn't like the chocolate chips. They are the same ones that Eat Well Be Well used to make, so I am VERY familiar with them. My first reaction was similar to yours, but I noticed they tasted better when you baked with them and after they have been refrigerated. I'm sorry you are disappointed...did you let CarbSmart know? I'm sure they'd be happy to send you something different since you're not satisfied.
You were right, Jimmy! Made some ganache with some of those chocolate chips and a little stevia and it was much better. Thanks for the advice!
On a similar note, have you tried those Chocolite treats? Divine straight from the package. :)
Chocolite is pretty good, although I can't have it because of the maltitol in it. EWWW!
It's pretty low down on the list, but I hear ya!
