Hi Bonnie,

I know I have seen a type of light molasses before, but it's *light* in colour & flavour, according to the label. I would LOVE to find a lower carb molasses - a little bit would go a long way, and no bitter aftertaste.

Recently, I saw a reduced calorie&carb HONEY product at WalMart. It's a fine powder, comes in a small jar, made by Labonte in Quebec. According to the label, it's derived from all natural ingredients and has 2/3 the calories and carbs of sugar - 10 cal/2.5 carbs per tsp, as opposed to 16 cal/4 carbs. The thing is, honey is more intensely sweet than sucrose-sugar, and the flavour. . . .yum! A half-tsp would be less than 1.5 carbs, and could maybe be used to dust over the top of a dessert, or to top a blob of whipped cream.

I saw it in the diet foods/artifiial sweetener section of the store - and I don't recall that it was any more expensive than Splenda.
