I don't have an specific recipes, but have you tried using sugar substitute (such as Splenda for Baking) and low fat butter (such as I Can't Believe It's Not Butter) in any existing recipes?
I once made chocolate ice cream with non fat milk Spenda and it turned out pretty good considering it had very little fat and sugar.Does anyone have some good recipes for whole foods healthy candy and goodies for Christmas?
