  Haigh's dark chocolate scorched almonds

• wester  on  April 10, 2014

  Well, I've already quit sugar, but I sometimes have some creme fraiche with sweeteners for breakfast or dessert. So that's the thing I would quit if I had to really take out all things sweet.

• Elnara  on  April 10, 2014

  mmmm caramel, which i guess is basically 100% sugar. LOL Mmmm fudge.

• Suirauqa  on  April 10, 2014

  Dark chocolate. Yip without a doubt. I actually dont think I could give this up. Neh-verrrr 🙂

  Any kind of cookie!

• Titch  on  April 10, 2014

  I would really struggle cutting any sugar out of my diet, but the worst one would be Chocolate.

  I really do have a problem with sugar & would love to win this book to give me the strength to do it

• decklededges  on  April 10, 2014

  Ice cream!

• ljskop  on  April 10, 2014

  cookies

• tangaloor  on  April 10, 2014

  What am I going to do with all my homemade jam?
  For those worried about chocolate, try the Francois Pralus 100% bar. It's sugar free, delicious and intense.

• RickPearson54  on  April 10, 2014

  Dark chocolate truffles.

• Kdmccul  on  April 10, 2014

  Probably chocolate chip cookies

• Juliebs2  on  April 10, 2014

  Chocolate, especially when combined with coffee. Mmmm…

• jacrae  on  April 10, 2014

  Ice cream!

• hollyglen  on  April 10, 2014

  So hard to pick one thing. Cookies, I guess. Or chocolate.

• Taxlady  on  April 10, 2014

  Gummi bears. sigh…….

• littleums  on  April 10, 2014

  I would say fruit would be the toughest sweet for me to eliminate completely. I am pretty sure that Sarah says it's okay to eat the low fructose fruits, but I'm not sure what she thinks regarding the higher fructose ones.

• boardingace  on  April 10, 2014

  Ice cream or chocolate

• smccandless  on  April 10, 2014

  dark chocolate

• kayanelson  on  April 10, 2014

  I have a big sweet tooth and enjoy my desserts. So all desserts, cookies the most though.

• rahiscock  on  April 10, 2014

  Chocolate and oat cookies. And brownies. And chocolate cake. And chocolate mousse. And chocolate ice cream. And chocolate muffins. And chocolate dipped strawberries. I think there is a theme here.

• mjrr  on  April 10, 2014

  Bendicks Bittermints. And fresh fruit. But the Bittermints…. now that would be really tough…

• WandaFrederick  on  April 10, 2014

  Merengues. Sweet, crunchy, melt in your mouth delicious.

• sailor  on  April 10, 2014

  eton mess

• bevie19  on  April 11, 2014

  Chocolate, cookies, ice cream, pie, cake… You get the idea.

• Kathymelb  on  April 11, 2014

  Lindt Macarons – finished cancer treatment today. I would treat myself a chocolate macaron after each Chemo session, it helped!

• paulabucharles  on  April 11, 2014

  whatever sweet-sour pastry it's very hard for me to give up! 🙁

• GillB  on  April 11, 2014

  Any kind of chocolate

• ballen  on  April 11, 2014

  Definitely ice cream but dark chocolate is a very close second.

• sgump  on  April 11, 2014

  Yes, ice cream. . . .

• pgarcia  on  April 11, 2014

  Peeps!

• slimmer  on  April 12, 2014

  Fortunately, I don't have much of a sweet tooth as far as desserts are concerned. But fruit … some nutritionists consider them "sugar bombs," but I agree with the author that the other nutrients and fiber compensate for the sugar. I can't believe a healthy diet would eliminate fruit!

• vickster  on  April 12, 2014

  Homemade cookies

• matag  on  April 12, 2014

  Danish

• FJT  on  April 12, 2014

  Jam!

• Annegreen  on  April 12, 2014

  Chocolate, because after it's not just a sweet, not even just a dessert and it's even more than an indulgence – it's stress relief medication. Otherwise I might have to turn to drugs!

• Rosesrpink50  on  April 12, 2014

  Chocolate!

• ldsalyer  on  April 13, 2014

  Brown Sugar is really hard for me, because I generally use natural sweeteners for most things, but it's hard to replace brown sugar in recipes!

• madamepince  on  April 13, 2014

  Hmmm…Baked sweets — cake, cookies, pie. They're complex in flavor & texture, so there's more to miss!

• Kirstin_the_Kiwi  on  April 13, 2014

  Werther's Original Butter Candies

• dineindivatami  on  April 14, 2014

  Chocolate

• laureljean  on  April 14, 2014

  Cookies

• centraljersey  on  April 14, 2014

  I've tried, and I always miss baking. And chocolate. So chocolate chip cookies (and dough), a French chocolate yogurt cake, and that's just the start. But I do try to avoid sweets that really aren't worth the calories and sugar.

• pokarekare  on  April 14, 2014

  Anything with chewy caramel in it!!! But I'm a good girl and try only to eat them when offered – I'm an OP [Other People's] caramel eater!

  Lemon Meringue Pie

• JanScholl  on  April 30, 2014

  I use very little sugar. I don't have a sweet tooth. My husband makes up for it. He eats my share. I tend to substitute other natural sweeteners instead but if a recipe MUST have sugar, it is always free trade organic. I pay more but I won't use grocery store sugar. There are sugar beet farms near me and they are disgusting.

• susanb  on  April 30, 2014

  Chocolate!

• Sausagetarian  on  April 30, 2014

  I love sweet-savory sauces like Mae Ploy, ketchup, and chutneys. I also love jams paired with cheese or nut butters. So it's not actually the straight-up desserts I would miss the most.

• Flowerbelle  on  April 30, 2014

  chocolate mousse

• nyc888nyc  on  April 30, 2014

  Growing up I am actually not a -sweet tooth- person. But unfortunately in my late fifty stage I just love sweets – oatsmeal breakfast, cookies, pastries and cakes which are NOT ALLOWED in my healthy diet. This is very difficult!

• clairew137  on  April 30, 2014

  Dark chocolate….it is my go to sugar.

• MelKettle  on  April 30, 2014

  While I'm grateful I don't have a sweet tooth, I do love chutney, fig paste and other sweet-savoury delights that go oh-so-well with cheese. Not sure if I could give that up…

• Alstewed  on  April 30, 2014

  Brown sugar I think would be the hardest, as I use it a lot in cooking. And I do love maple syrup-based sauces and creams!

• angiehoggett  on  May 1, 2014
