Is there a reason to use xylitol instead of Zero in this recipe?  Just wondering what the reason would be.

You can replace the Xylitol with Zero to make this sugar alcohol free :) 16 drops :)

That's what I figured but wondered if there was a reason this recipe didn't list the Zero equivalent when it was first posted.  I love the stuff.

... Or erythritol used as a powdered sugar substitute.
What you do today is what matters!
