I even ate some straight up (I was scared LOL but it<br />tasted natural and no aftertaste!) It's actually a little less sweet than<br />sugar but they still say to use a 1 to 1 ratio. So if you like overly sweet<br />things you'd want to add more of this compared to what the recipe calls for.<br />For me though it was a perfect amount of sweet!::stephchows::http://stephchows.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2119551091046515221.post-33944924796032538682011-04-25T22:26:55.409-04:002011-04-25T22:26:55.409-04:00Ok Steph.

There are different kinds of Xylitol, some made from birch,some made from corn. Make sure you get the birch kind, such as this brand. :)Maria Falaschinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2119551091046515221.post-86076452958460493362011-04-25T10:31:53.145-04:002011-04-25T10:31:53.145-04:00I first saw Xylitol at a restaurant (Philip's ...I first saw Xylitol at a restaurant (Philip's European Cafe here in Rochester) and was surprised.
