Da Vinci Gourmet Sugar Free Flavored Syrups are sweetened with Splenda brand sweetener. Da Vinci Gourmet Sugar Free Syrups have the same world-class flavor as Da Vinci's Classic flavors, but without the calories. Thus, they are extremely popular among diabetics, low-carb dieters, and others who are interested in no-calorie products. Da Vinci Gourmet Sugar Free Syrups are available in many flavors for use in coffee drinks, sodas, desserts, and more. Since Splenda is extremely heat-stable, you can use these syrups in baking.
Da Vinci Gourmet Sugar Free Pancake Syrup is so unbelievably rich, you won't believe it is sugar free. The natural maple flavor is perfect drizzled over steaming hot pancakes and waffles. Note: The DaVinci Sugar Free Pancake Syrup is rich and flavorful, however, it does have a thin texture and is not as thick as traditional pancake syrups.

If you make the microwave bowl muffins this syrup is indispensable. It gives you the liquid, the flavor, and the sweetener for a lovely bowl muffin. I use it most every morning for my breakfast "bread". The muffin has approximately 3 grams of carbs.
In case you don't have the recipe;
1/4 c. flavored syrup
1 egg, beaten into syrup
1/4 c. Carb Quick mixed with 1/4 c. golden flax meal ( or some other flourish baking substitute
mix well and microwave two min. on high.
If you mix this in a corning ware cereal bowl it can go right in the micro without messing up another bowl.
turn out of bowl and slice to make round bread slices for the toaster. Use as toast or sandwich bun.
If you use maple syrup flavored DaVinci you can make a McDonalds type McGriddle egg, sausage and cheese breakfast sandwich.

No one has mentioned this, so I thought I'd add it for low carbers, diabetics and generally lazy people who want a thin 'shake' but don't want to go to the trouble of making one: I use these syrups to flavor and sweeten Blue Diamond Almond Breeze drink. I'm mostly hooked on RASPBERRY with either vanilla or original (unsweetened) Almond Breeze. The result is better than milk, with a pure, clean flavor and more body than regular milk. I just add a little Raspberry syrup to a glass of Almond Breeze on ice - no need to add additional sweetener, and the taste is heavenly. Caramel and peanut butter are good too, and the chocolate syrup added to Almond Breeze chocolate drink makes it well, perfect.
If you haven't tried Blue Diamond Almond Breeze with your favorite syrup, this will open up a new world for you. The first time you make it, just add a little syrup at a time until you find your comfort zone, as it goes a long way. You will finish the glass and go running for more.
I've used DaVinci Sugar Free syrups for over three years now. Though I've tried other syrups, only DaVinci seems to be able to create SF syrups with real flavor and sweetness without an aftertaste. I also feel more comfortable knowing that they are made with Splenda and thus unlikely to cause any intestinal discomfort.
I use the syrups in conventional ways, adding them to coffee, lattes, tea, and smoothies. But I also use them in baking (such as the Spice syrup in carrot cake or quick breads) and cooking (such as using the Orange syrup in place of orange juice in a recipe for Orange Chicken). I can add a little syrup to plain yogurt to flavor it and avoid all the odd things added into flavored SF yogurts (like gelatin!). I even enjoy pouring a bit of SF syrup over my no-sugar-added vanilla ice cream (the Egg Nog flavor is excellent for this!). I've only been dissatisfied with two flavors-- cinnamon and raspberry. The raspberry flavor seems very synthetic and there is a very strong aftertaste which might be because of the extremely dark red coloring of the syrup. The cinnamon didn't taste (or smell) like cinnamon at all-- it had a very strange taste and was the only syrup I've ever thrown out. Otherwise, I'm a huge fan.
I especially love how carefully Netrition packages these glass bottles...they arrive in perfect condition everytime!
I have tried most of the flavors and I have to say that DaVinci syrups are a staple in my house. I use them for my coffee in the morning, to flavor baked goods, hot cereals, yogurt etc. I especially love mixing it with some heavy cream in my isi whipper and having flavored whipped cream.
My favorites are butter rum, amaretto, french vanilla and nothing beats a little toasted marshmallow in a mug of hot cocoa!
