I confess, I use the real ingredients such as sugar... but this sounds really yummy.

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year to you, too! Honestly, this is the first time I haven't used real sugar, but when I made it, you'd never even know! Really, I think you could make it minus the sugar all together! But, to be devil's advocate, what's one Tablespoon of sugar going to do anyway?
