Well, I tried and they flopped!
I got adventurous this weekend. I tried making a batch of Pizelle's that would be a little less calories and maybe better for us. I tried using whole wheat flour instead of white and splenda instead of sugar. I was willing to give up a little on taste - but OMG - they are awful. Not only do they taste like cardboard, they are soft and pliable instead of the crispy consistency they should be. I surely won't do that again. I think it was the flour and not the splenda. Has anyone baked with whole wheat flour, and if so, how did yours turn out?
This weekend (for Easter), I am going to try to adapt a chocolate cheesecake recipe with low-fat ingreadients and splenda instead of sugar. Has anyone tried this and if so, how did it turn out?
I have tried the diabetisweet and didn't care for it, so I'm back to trying splenda. I measured cup for cup on the sugar/splenda. Does anyone have any comments on this switch in recipes? thanks,
Eileen

If you look back at the posts there is a recent post entitled "looking for a recipie" which has a bunch of recipies for cheesecakes. One of them is mine which I used splenda in. It's not chocolate but I'm assuming you can mix in some unsweetened cocoa powder or melted unsweetened bakers chocolate and it would be just fine :)
Susan makes all sorts of sf things so definately contact her about the pizelles!

Instead of complaining that the rosebush has thorns, be happy that the thorn bush has roses. 
Hi Eileen I sent you an e-mail. but if anyone else needs to know
.
you can no make Pizelles with wheat flour they are horrible. use standard recipe just substitue splenda ( DO NO USE DIABETA SWEET) for sugar and cook alittle longer then normal so they get crispy, if you dont cook them long enough they will stay soft.
Choc SF cheescake fast & easy
1-8oz 1/3 less fat cream cheese
1 tub cool whip
! SF chocolate instant pudding mix with 1 1/2 cups fat free milk
add all ingredients together place in pie shell & chilkl
takes less then 20 minutes to prepare
for added treat add 1/8 tsp mint extract to mixture
I make my crust with fiber one cereal . place in food processor and crumb it then I place in pie dish and spray with butter spray then pour mixture over it. you can do this with grahan crackers but the cereal has less carbs and more fiber
