I haven't made this, but looking at the recipe, with 1 cup sugar and 1/2 cup chocolate chips, it's not for diabetics! It may be better than some other recipes, but I wonder if it would be included in a diabetic cookbook with that much sugar content. Even the Splenda Blend is 1/2 sugar!

This recipe is like a giant brownie - nobody believes it is actually healthy. I have made it quite a few times and shared the recipe with some diabetic friends. My husband and I are not diabetic, but don't want to be. Thanks for giving this chocoholic something I can enjoy without all the guilt!
