- ¼ tsp chocolate extract - optional [2]

Nutritional information
Per 1 tbsp serving:
- Cho 2g | pro 1g | fat 0g | fiber 0.1g | sodium 25mg | chol 0mg
- Food exchanges: up to 2 tbsp may be considered "free". If ¼ cup is used - count as 1 vegetable exchange or ½ fruit exchange.
- Low sodium diets: omit salt from recipe.
Notes
- ↑ Also found that substitute to equal ½ cup sugar was not quite sweet enough for me - so adjust to your own taste.
- ↑ Original recipe did not call for chocolate extract but I find that it does help the flavor.
