I just found out my dad is diabetic. He is a sweet tooth! For Christmas I want to bake him sugar free, or reduced sugar goodies. I really am looking for chocolate covered pretzels? Anything without sugar or low sugar! Help please!

go to and search for diabetic recipes.
You can probably do most of your baking by replacing granulated sugar and using splenda.
Try going online and typing in diabetic recipes. I know Companyscoming- has two diabetic cook books where you can download recipes.
You also might try your local diabetic association.
Many stores now sell diabetic chocolates and candies, they are expensive but they’re a nice treat.
You know tho diabetics can have some sugar, they’d actually prefer you have sugar to using aspertane.
Good luck.
