| | | Hey, about the sugar free Jello (we call it jelly), I'm not a big jelly fan but I tried some yesterday. It wasn't that great, I thought... I was a bit disappointed with the aftertaste. Now, the brands are likely to be different, but I was wondering as I ate some - should I try and find other brands or flavours, or is it all a bit lacking (texture fine, taste very artificial sweetener)? Do people find much variety of end result, between brands or flavours?

| | | My experience is that they all taste pretty much the same, Subby. Jello, of course is the big brand; the others I see tend to be store brands.

| | | Emerald Cocoa Roast almonds. Thanks for the tip MCS!!!
They are not "no carb", but they have 6 grams per serving and are a great night time snack.
(a little sucralose aftertaste though, but not bad enough to stop me from eating them)

Ingredients
1 cup cola beverage (I used Coke Cherry Zero to compliment the cherry Jell-O)
1 small pkg sugar-free cherry Jell-O
16 ounces cream cheese, cubed and softened
1 teaspoon almond flavoring
1 ounce unsweetened chocolate, melted
Method
Pour cola in a small saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Pour over Jell-O in medium mixing bowl. Stir until Jell-o is disolved. Add cream cheese to dissolved Jell-O. Add melted chocolate and almond flavoring. Beat well with electric mixer for 2 minutes on medium speed. Spoon into 12 muffin cups that have been lined with cupcake liners. Chill for 2-3 hours or until firm.
Makes 12 muffins, 2 carbs each (without garnish)! | ALRIGHT im going to try this!!! |

| | Me loves the Pork rinds/scratchings as well but can't seem to find them here in my part of Canada 
BTW -- in the same aisle -- not sure if it has been mentioned but pretty much all the commercial jerky I find has added sugars

| | | my favorite free snack
my favorite carb free snack i discovered the other day:
Take a few decent sized chunks of cheese (Cheddar is my favorite for this), microwave it about 30 seconds until it is completely melted. Mix in about 1 tsp of mild salsa + stir in completely. eat w/ a spoon. |

| | | I munch on almonds - bloods ok with these. Don't know if they're great though ie fat content but a whole lot better than copious cheese and celery. Eating more vege after dinner doesn't do it for me somehow. |

Eating more vege after dinner doesn't do it for me somehow. | Raw almonds work really well for me too, and since they take a lot of chewing, it doesn't take very many to squelch the munchies.
