Low Sugar Pudding Bites

 I know after weight loss surgery patients try to stay away from sweets, but there are ways to enjoy lower sugar options in a controlled way.  I recently heard about Lily's Dark Chocolate No Sugar Added Baking Chips.  These chips are sweetened with Stevia, so are lower in sugar than regular baking chips.  

Lily's Baking Chips Per Serving: 55 calories, 4 gm Fat, 2.5 gm Saturated Fat, 8 gm Carbohydrates, 0 gm Sugar, 3 gm Erythritol, 1 gm Protein

Nestle Mini Chips Per Serving: 70 calories, 4 gm Fat, 2.5 gm Saturated Fat, 9 gm Carbohydrates, 8 gm Sugar, <1 gm Protein

I found a great and easy recipe for chocolate pudding.  I substituted Lily's chips for regular chips and used decreased the sugar by ½ by using Splenda.  To lower the fat and calorie content I also used skim milk instead of whole milk.  Serving the pudding in mini cups easily reduced your portion size.
