I've tried those and liked them too.
My biggest downfall... sweets of any type are my undoing. Can't stop
myself at just one.
Great idea to have handy at Xmas though I think.


Just think of the possible side effects. Sounds like a good
deterrent to eating too many of them.

I've had a couple of those, and they are very good. I have to
ration them though.


Hmm, true candy taste and feel, sounds deliciously dangerous

Yes, well, I am keeping in mind that they have calories, and
overconsumption could be disastrous. Anyway, even though they are
good, I like very dark chocolate. I think if I really want
chocolate, I will eat a very low carb (for such) good chocolate.

If ToolPackinMama had a hammer, they might
have built a post that went like this:

WOW! "Pecan delights" (2 pieces): 130 calories, total carbs, 16 grams.
NET EFFECTIVE CARBS = 2.4 G.

The taste and mouth-feel are perfect. It's a true candy.


They're definitely awesome, and they don't give me gastrointestinal
problems like some other candies with sorbitol or malitol do, but boy
do they stall me out like nobody's business. I had to stop eating them
because I was starting to gain some weight back :/

These are made with lactitol, aren't they? I find that lactitol is a
little better for me than maltitol.

I never had any problems from them.

Bottom line: if your weight loss stops after you add these to your diet, or
if you start finding yourself hunger or getting back to binging behavior,
these candies would be the first item to finger as the culprit.


.....or not!

I'd say it depends on the person. I started my Aktins diet eating at
least 2 Carbolite chocolate bars and 1/2 Carb Safe white chocolate bar
(about 150g total) per day. It was the only thing that kept me from
mugging school kids on their way to school for their peanubutter/jelly
sandwiches. I'm down to 1/2 bar per day, now, but I've been losing
weight all along. That maltitol kept me regular, too.

Review:

Carbolite chocolate bars (crunchy, almond, peanutbutter, dark
chocolate) are very tasty. They have a buttery, slightly greasy,
mouth feel, but the flavor is very good. $1.87 per 50g bar at Trader
Joe's. My favorite for regular chocolate.

Carb Safe white chocolate bars. Very good white chocolate. Good
mouth feel and excellent flavor. Their milk chocolate bar is ok tasting
but has a slightly granular mouthfeel. $1.50 per 100g bar at TJ's.

I could eat two Carbolite bars and suffer no intestinal distress, but
half a Carb Safe bar would give me ...well, let's just say a lot of
activity! Never had the green apple shouts from either.
Both had about 20-22g of carbs, but cuz it was maltitol, only about 2
real grams.

They took their sugar-free line, wrapped it in a new red package labelled
low carb, and doubled the price. Look for the green bags, and save
some bucks. I especially like the peppermint patties.

As to the Pecan Delights, I think the Nestle's Sugarfree Turtles
are much better.

Sugarfree candies are loaded with sugar alcohols, which some people
process more as carbs, according to blood levels taken by diabetics in
the group. A lot of people are stalled by them. And eating too many
acts as a laxative.

Sugarfree candy is still a junk food, and should be treated as such.

That's what *I* thought, but the calories on the two varieties
seem to be different?????

For me, whether sugar-free, low-carb, or wonderful chocolate and
other goodies, they all have to be limited. Just as I am pleased
that my daughter no longer thinks she needs dessert, I also think
it is good for me not to be in that mindframe.
