Check the label on your cocoa Rena.  I use Frye's cocoa and it is 0 carbs.  The store brand NoName has carbs, they must have fillers in it.

Does it really require 10 packets of Splenda?  Yikes!
I have Stevia in packets, do I need that many?  Really?

Ok, I made this tonight and used Stevia instead - 4 pks.
Let me tell you it was AWFUL.
I only had no name cocoa (it had carbs, but I had enough to spare), and it was so overpoweringly bitter and had that yukky fake sugary taste....

Perhaps it was just the Stevia, I followed everything the same as everyone else appears to have.

Oh dear......I had to throw it out!

I just dont like the MIM I have tried and tried  any of the things that you make in the micro . I think unless I make Umpas cakes they just are not gonna do it . Try Umpas PB cookies they are veryyyyyyyyyyyyy good ! I am making some next week when I get my xylitol. No sugar alcohols in them .

Xylitol is better for baking.

I still haven't tried it, but thanks for the tip, ShihTizuMom. Right now we only have Splenda and I use that sparingly. We bought a big box at Costco a long time before starting FTS and I wanted to use most of it up before buying something new. I'll give this recipe a try sometime, though.

I do like the One-Minute Muffin mix with chocolate syrup in it, which to me, is pretty cake-like.

Yes it is good with the 5 tsp. of xylitol.  I made it in my 2 cup pyrex measuring cup (I used a coffee mug the first time and it overflowed and made a big mess).  I microwaved it for 1 1/2 minutes.  I used Fry's Cocoa and it was 0 net carbs.

I ran back across this recipe tonight and had forgotten how good it is.  I thought I'd post to put this back up as current so some of the new folks could try it.  Be sure to us a HUGE coffe cup or a small pyrex dish.  Mine kinda ran over the top during cooking.  SOOO good!   ;)
