Russell Stover Sugar-free Chocolates

Loveac — Sun, 09 Dec 2018 15:19:09 GMT

Did anyone order these about a week ago? They were individually wrapped and came in 3 separate containers for around $40. I cannot find them and was wondering if anyone has the item number. Thank u in advance!

Check the label and if it contains Maltitol, which most sugar free candy does, be wary. It will cause digestive issues for most people.

This candy is available for sale everywhere. It is creamy and tastes great, but has a side effect that you don't want unless you are home in your bathroom.

@Loveac

I gave them to my brother who is diabetic. He did not like them because it caused him to have gas, diarrhea, and IBS. It was the sweetener. YMMV.

Good luck.

@Loveac I've ordered these twice for my diabetic husband who loves them. I tried one of them just to taste and it was delicious. He's tried other sugar-free chocolates and this has been his favorite.

ETA: They must offer them for very short periods of time and they've only been offered twice since late summer that I've noticed. Maybe Walmart is an option, surely they are sold elsewhere, or try Amazon.

ITA. My husband brought me a bag of the RS s/f peanut butter cups and they are wonderful. But, and it's a HUGE but, only eat one!

I like the RS brand in general, anyway, but the s/f ones are as good as any. If people are going to eat a bunch of them they are probably totally missing the point anyway, but they will also have something new to deal with.

You are very correct about it being a laxative, but if you need one once in awile then you are all set, but candy made that way caused me to have stomach problems that lasted, so be careful. They are not the solution to enjoy chocholate in fact they can make some people really, really sick. My Doctor said just read the box on a regular chocolate and each just a few, and if you can trust yourself still stay away from sugarfree products including Nutra-sweet it is poison in my opinion.

Always read the package before you purchase anything.

@BeccaLou - NutraSweet has been off the market for years, so that's at least one artificial sweetener everyone can avoid...

I buySplenda for my Husband. I See in the store it's in a yellow box. I told him the other day I am going to quit it isn't good for him plus he puts on all ready sweetened cereal. Isn't Nutrasweet and Splenda the same.?

@BeccaLou - Splenda is a brand name for the artificial sweetener sucralose, something I'm all too familiar with because I'm extremely allergic to it; it is very sweet but has almost no aftertaste, so it is added to all kinds of food and beverage products now, including regular as well as diet items. NutraSweet was a brand name associated with aspartame, which is definitely still around under its own name and several other brands even though NutraSweet is no longer being sold.
