Use the skim milk and the sugar free (I believe WalMart has the kind of theirs with splenda). Another option is use skim milk instead of water in the sugar free cocoa mix. Hope that helps.

Cassi · Blonde Dumb

Good idea, thanks Shelly. Now hopefully I can find the sugar free cocoa mix.

Also had another idea ... see my post in Let's Chat under 'A few questions'.

Thanks for all your help. It's soooo greatly appreciated. Soon ya'll are gonna be tired of me!

Chelle · Co-Moderator

I had just responded to that over there!!

You are more than welcome. I like passing on wha I have learned the past year and few month!!!
