DIED AND WENT TO HEAVEN CHOCOLATE CAKE,DIABETIC VERSION
** PLEASE NOTE: THE WHITE FROSTING IN PHOTO IS NOT PART OF THIS RECIPE PLEASE CONTACT PERSON WHO POSTED THE PHOTO.** Deliciously moist low-sugar chocolate cake, made even more flavorful by the addition of coffee. This is from the Splenda site. Please Note: Splenda Brown Blend is 50% sugar and this recipe uses 1/2 a cup. That's 1/4 cup of sugar in the entire cake. 1/4 cup =4 Tbsp. Splenda Brown has 4g of sugar per tsp =12 g per Tbsp and 48g (1 2/3 oz) in the entire cake. The cake is intended to serve 10. That will give you 4.8g (or 1/8 ounce ounce or 0.169 ounce according to the converter on this site) of sugar per serving. Please decide for yourself if this recipe is safe for you. I, myself, am insulin dependent and I get a higher spike from two slices of 100% whole wheat bread in a sandwich than from a slice of this cake. If you are a brittle diabetic or sensitive to all sugars you may wish to avoid this recipe.

'CHOCOLATE HEAVEN' PUDDING
I got this idea from the banana pudding recipe I use (the first one that comes up when you search for it on here) and I have to say I was surprised at how delicious it came out! I had the intention of using chocolate whipped cream but my husband grabbed plain & improvising worked out well for me, but you're welcome to use chocolate whipped cream. I also was tempted to add chocolate chips but it's perfect with just the oreos :)

I have had a lifelong love affair with chocolate pie--well, with chocolate anything! My mother made the most wonderful chocolate pie in the world. I'm not sure how she made it, maybe with pudding that you cooked on the stove. But this recipe sure looks pretty good to me! Recipe: hersheys.com Photos: mine
