Chocolate Slush

Submitted by peachez

"My favourite sinless treat, Cook time includes slow boil, cool down of mixture and freezer time. You can change the taste by using any extract you prefer ( almond, peppermint, orange etc - adjust these extracts to your taste ). You can also partially freeze and eat it semi frozen with chocolately liquid."

This was a nice easy cold dessert. I experimented with splenda instead of sugar and while it was ok, I would recommend the sugar instead. (If you do use splenda I would use more. Mine was slightly bitter, though I do like bittersweet tastes so that was ok.) I want to try it with peppermint extract. If you make it with sugar it is 3 WW points a serving, and with splenda it is 2. So next time I'm going with the sugar! Thanks so much!
