   These taste great. You can’t tell they are sugar free. Unfortunately, they have 15g of sugar alcohols, which sent my glucose reading thru the roof. Great product if you’re not diabetic.

   I grew up in a diabetic household so I have always been aware of the difference between “people” food and “diabetic” food. Of course it was only recently that I was put on the non-people stuff exclusively.

   These candies are surprisingly satisfying. I have a doc who says artificial sweeteners are for those who haven’t yet admitted that they aren’t allowed to have a sweet tooth any longer. May be true but these little candies are quite nice.

   They are, in fact, hard. That is a nice change from diabetic candies when I was a child. They have a decent mouth feel and an almost caramel taste. I don’t catch an aftertaste. So, when I “need” a fix, these are nice to have around the house. Won’t mistake them for “people” candy but these really are amazingly lifelike.

   Tastes good and doesn’t affect my blood glucose level, August 29, 2010

   I’ve been sucking on these and some other sugar alcohol hard candies for a couple of months, trying to stave off the munchies, and they’re generally really good. Though some other Werther’s flavors are mostly sweet with little punch, the Caramel Coffee have lots of flavor.

   The package says that a serving is 5 pieces, but that seems a lot. Each individual piece has 3 g of carbohydrates, with 2.8 g from Sugar Alcohol. Some say that is a net of 1.6 g each. I have diabetes and I’ve checked my blood glucose level at 15 minutes and an hour after eating a couple, and I see no spike at all. Perhaps different people metabolize these things differently, so individual mileage may vary. The best thing would be to check the blood and see if these work for you. They do for me.
