kranky Posted December 10, 2010 Posted December 10, 2010 My mom wants these for Christmas but I don't want to buy the first ones I find online because I won't know if they are any good or not. If anyone has a recommendation, I'd very much appreciate it.
mom2monkiesx3 Posted December 10, 2010 Posted December 10, 2010 I order Sugar Free sweets from Russell Stover and they taste fine. I am not a big chocolate person though. They also have assorted hard candies that are yummy too, especially the Rootbeer ones! YUM!
mysschevous Posted December 10, 2010 Posted December 10, 2010 I buy my sugar free candy here. http://www.munsonschocolates.com/products.php?cat=10 It's YUMMY! :)
whereswaldo Posted December 10, 2010 Posted December 10, 2010 Mariescandies.com Wonderful chocolates. Not cheap but you definatley get what you pay for. Their candy is homemade and WONDERFUL
Stowasser Posted December 10, 2010 Posted December 10, 2010 most every store has a fair selection of sugarless candy, my father is a diabetic so this is what we get him. I have bought at Walmart and Target, one brand was mentioned Russell Stover. They have boxed ones and also some in bags
tokanm Posted December 10, 2010 Posted December 10, 2010 Yep Russell Stover are really good and they have a good variety. Walmart has lots of bags of them
AndreaInNC Posted December 10, 2010 Posted December 10, 2010 I do NOT like the sugar free Hershey chocolate bars .. they taste like wax. Russell stover makes some good sugar free chocolates in the boxes - it makes a nice gift.
nat1jen Posted December 10, 2010 Posted December 10, 2010 Russell Stover is good but Fannie May is even better (but more expensive)! Fannie May is having a sale through tomorrow (12-11) with 50% off boxed chocolates! Coupon code is 16505.
kranky Posted December 10, 2010 Author Posted December 10, 2010 Thanks to all! I have good leads to check on now.

semperwife Posted December 18, 2010 Posted December 18, 2010 Is there a specific reason she wants sugar-free chocolates? The reason I am asking is because sugar free foods contain sugar alcohols which are really hard on the body to process. It actually takes longer to break them down which causes higher blood sugars later on for people with diabetes. If something has 8 grams of sugar alcohols about 4 grams of it will be broken down into carbohydrates. It could take 3-6 hours for it to process where as simple sugars break down instantly and are usually out of the system quickly.
