Researchers develop diet chocolate

WARWICK, U.K. (WDTN) - It just might be the diet treat to beat them all.

Researchers have created (wait for it), diet chocolate!

The new creation uses fruit juice to replace half the fat.

Researchers from the University of Warwick in the UK say it does give the chocolate a slightly fruity flavor, but retains the smooth texture as it melts in your mouth.

"We've found a way to maintain all of those things that make chocolate 'chocolatey' but with fruit juice instead of fat," Stefan Bon said. "Our study is just the starting point to healthier chocolate - we've established the chemistry behind this new technique but now we're hoping the food industry will take our method to make tasty, lower-fat chocolate bars."
