SF maple syrup

I was just wondering what kind of SF maple syrups are good and if there is any thing I need to look for when chosing it. This counts toward our sweet treats calories, right?
Thanks!!

Hi,
I love Cozy Cottage sugar-free maple syrup:
Hi Terri,
One of the things to look for with choosing a SF maple syrup is the sugar alcohol content.
Definitely try a couple different brands - almost all the major brands have a sugar-free version now - Log Cabin, Mrs. Buttersworth, etc.
I find that they are all VERY different in their flavor. For example, the Cozy Cottage one is very maple-ish (I wouldn't say it tastes like REAL maple, but you can tell that is the flavor they are trying for!) Its actually rather a strong (fake) maple flavor to me. I like it for pancakes, waffles, etc. But I like the Mrs Buttersworth one for baking with (I use in place of honey or brown sugar in recipes) It has a more *neutral* flavor, not really maple - jsut like a generically sweet, sticky substance. I don't know if that makes sense!
But the Cozy Cottage as quite a bit less calories than some of the other brands, so that is another thing to consider. It has 25 cal per 1/4 cup - most others have 35-40 cal per 1/4 cup.
So try a few to see what you like!

Thanks to all of you for your suggestions. I have to go to the store tomorrow and I'll see what's available and go from there. I'm anxious to try the WW pancake recipe that I found on here earlier.
