Sugar Free Baking Chocolate
Baking chocolate that's sugar free and also perfect for candy making has not been available until now with this Santa Barbara Chocolate innovation. Through a special blending of premium ingredients and cacao solids, Santa Barbara Chocolate has made a couverture grade, sugar free chocolate that delivers versatility without compromise. Sugar free cookie recipes are the test for a quality baking chocolate that is also without sugar. The test comes in the fresh from the oven flavor. Our sugar free dark chocolate chips are larger size chips so you get more chocolate in every cookie bite. Because the chocolate flavor is clean, nobody can tell the cookies have no added sugar (trick your spouse and kids into eating healthy chocolate chip cookies). For candy making Santa Barbara Chocolate is significantly more flavorful and most importantly the viscosity (fluidity) of the sugar free chocolate is fluid and easy to temper.
Why Stevia Plant Ingredient in Sugar Free Chocolate Chips?
The stevia we use in making our sugar free chocolate chips is the most premium quality. Stevia Plants are originally from Paraguay South America and have been used in food and medicine for centuries.
Because organic stevia is a plant with no sugar it is often used as a sugar substitute in both keto and paleo diet recipes.
Stevia contains phytochemicals including quercetin flavonoids. In a human trial, stevia was found to help maintain healthy blood pressure and regulate blood sugar levels (see below references).
