I melt dark chocolate with some coconut oil and make a thin layer in a pan to make bark or in individual mini muffin cups. I sprinkle fresh pomegranate arils on it while it's still melted. It's not sugar free but it's a nice treat and not horrendous for you imho.

For me I look for alternatives that are safe for me. I try to make my own so I know what is in it too. I have a couple desserts like a sugarfree pumpkin custard no crust and a couple cookies I like. I’m not really tempted to eat the sugary foods. I know it’s my krptonite and have no desire to go back to my old ways. Holidays are about family not the food.

@A DiabetesTeam Member I eat 100% dark chocolate and even that has 33g net carbs per 100g. However in quantities of 10-15g it doesn't have a significant effect on my bgs.
