Don't Eat Too Many Though
Sugar free candy products that taste just like the real product are hard to find. Each year, diabetics and dieters fear the holiday season where an excess of sweets and festive foods adorn home tables, business offices, and public greeting areas. Since chocolate is one of America's favorite flavors, finding the best sugar free candy for holidays and special occasions will help guests enjoy the season without guilt.It is prudent to mention that sugar free candy products may cause intestinal discomfort for some people. Many of the sugar free candy products are made with sugar substitutes that can have a laxative effect. Even though you may feel like you can eat a whole box of sugar free chocolates at Christmas without feeling guilty, you may later feel very sick. I have taste tested many brands of sugar free candy and found these to be the best tasting candy:
Sugar Free Russell Stover Candies
Russell Stover Candies offers a large variety of sugar free candy with chocolate. You can purchase individually wrapped sugar free candies in small bags or gift boxes of sugar free candy assortments. Small bags of sugar free candy cost $2.49 each for about 10 pieces of candy. Especially tasty are the chocolate peanut butter cups, the chocolate covered coconut with almond bars, the pecan brittle, the pecan delights that are similar to Turtles, and the chocolate covered hard toffee squares. Russell Stover also offers the best sugar free chocolate-covered mint patty that I have ever eaten!
Russell Stover owns the Whitman brand of candy and now offers a Weight Watchers sugar free sampler box of gourmet chocolate candy assortments. A similar assortment of gourmet sugar free candies with chocolate is offered in the Russell Stover brand. You can also get boxes of your favorite sugar free candy like the truffles, mints, creams, and my favorite: the Sugar Free Butter Nut Toffee Sticks.

From personal experience:
I went on a low carb diet and decided to get some of these. Let me tell you-- I ate ONLY THREE PIECES and I have the most awful, terrible, diarrhea FROM HELL. Literally, I have gone to the toilet so many times today that I broke a blood vessel in my ass and my ass is now bleeding. Now, I ask you: What is the point of getting diet chocolate it it is going to make you sick as a dog to eat only a couple of pieces? Save the headache, get the regular chocolate, and just eat a couple of those. It will make no difference since you can't eat more than one or two pieces anyway. If that. So... all in all... bleeding ass or putting on a few pounds? Choose the regular chocolate, eat responsibly, spend an extra half hour on the treadmill. Kay people? It's not worth a bleeding rectum.
Finding goodies for diabetic family members just got easier - thank you!
Excellent article. I'm going to try some of these. Thanks for sharing.
Great list of sugar free candies - my dad is diabetic but still has a sweet tooth. Will have to print this out for him.
Good options for people who need/desire them. I was curious about Splenda and chocolate - I know I don't like the taste of it in soda.
These are very good products and since the sugar in them is usually the sugar alcohol type-it is better for those of us who try to watch our weight even tho we are not diabetic. That type of sugar metabolizes slower.
Beware not all sugar free candy is sugar free. Read the labels closely. Thank You fer sharin'. ;-}}>
More great suggestions for those of us that need to be sugar free. There should be a warning here however, some sugar free candies have a substances in them that causes diarrhea, so be careful not to over do them.
Great ideas!
I'm always afraid of sugar free chocolate for some reason. I may try a couple of these though.
