I used sugar free ketchup and Splenda brown sugar so it wouldn't be too bad for my DH. One son wasn't into it at all and the other gave it a 3.5-4 probably, in part, due to the artificial sweetner but also they were falling apart and were like pulled pork more than ribs. I liked the taste of the sauce. My DH is still working and hasn't tried them yet. If his review is different I will add it. Thanks!
