Diabetes

Was going through some of my mom's diabetic recipes.  Found this one marked!  I haven't tried it but will closer to Christmas!  If anyone tries it sooner let us know what you think! 

2 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese softened
2 squares (1 ounce each) unsweetened chocolate, melted and cooled
24 packets sweetner to equal 1 cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 c chopped pecans

In a small mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, chocolate, sweetner and vanilla until smooth.  Stir in pecans.  Pour into an 8 inch square baking pan lined with foil.  Cover and refrigerate overnight.  Cut into 16 squares.  Served chilled.  (16 servings)

mint extract would be awesome in this! Other nuts besides pecans would work, and even diced bits of dried fruits (dried cherries for instance) as well (except they'd add a bit more carb to the recipe)
