Hi Guys!

Are there any good sugar free sweets that I can have? I am addicted to sugar free polos but id like something fruity!

Is there any that anyone can recommend ?

Thanks in advance guys :)

My local sweet shop provides me with lots of lovely sugar free sweets. I can get Everton mints, chocolate limes, the black and white mints, toffees, boiled fruit sweets, soft fruit sweets, sherbet lemons, winter mixture, etc. The price usually works out at about 96p for 100g. They are in jars so they're loose, he doesn't keep packets of sugar free sweets.

I got some sugar free chocolate once from Thorntons!!!!! Anyone else made this mistake? It reminded me of that scene from Dumb and Dumber!!
My friend had Gestational Diabetes when she was pregnant. She sent me a text telling me that I should check out Thorntons Sugar Free Chocolate, because it was "delicious and tasted just like normal chocolate".
I texted her back and asked her how long ago she ate it, to which she replied that she'd devoured the whole block not ten minutes previous.
I don't think she left the house for 2 days after that!

Extraneous noise (mobile phones in quiet carriages), tattoos especially on females. Increasing arthritis in hands.
For the odd occasion when only a sweet will do I like ricola or Sula. Only one now and again but have some nice flavours, the packet I have at the moment are Sula mixed fruit, they last me quite a while as I haven't got a sweet tooth and as they are in a little box rather than a wrapped packet they keep well

Marks and Spencer sell Butter Scotch drops in small packs by the till, sweetener is Isomalt, Sucralose, 0.3% the packs are 42g, very useful to keep in the car so that you don't stop at the next service station and buy a doughnut

From experience Sugar Free Polos can act as a Laxative as they contain Sorbitol

Sugar free sweets hadn't occurred to me. Just googled them and they can be bought on ebay and amazon. I am tempted by the sugar free liquorice toffees. :)

Hi . I got some sugar free sweets from eBay . Eat a few in the first week of getting them and the threw The rest away . I found that they did not help with my sugar cravings and just made things worst . It's been about 2 months now with no sugar cravings

People who think they know everything.
My favourite is Ricola, the elderflower one. Light and fruity taste and not too sweet.
