Atkins bars are great. Pricey, but very tasty. Contains polyols that some people find increases their toilet use frequency! You can get them from Boots, Waitrose and Tesco.

I think if you care to look around you can find 'sugar free' mints that are packaged almost identical to those of the 'Tic Tac' range. I was once given a bar of so called 'diabetic chocolate' by a friend which had disasterous 'end' results and should have come with a health warning that it also had laxative properties.

I buy sugar free ***** sweets online, ebay is quite good. I have found most sweet shops tend to sell sugar free humbugs and other hard sweets. With choc I tend to just go for a high cocoa content, lidl do a 74% one for 79p. Or thorntons do sugar fee choc, but eat in moderation if you dont want stomach cramps and the runs.

If you want cakes or biscuits, have a look in the recipe sections there are some good ones on here.

I get a jar of Brays boiled sweets from Amazon twice a year. Huge selection and jar is crammed full. Look it up on the Amazon site they are delicious and worth every penny
