My Picks for the Best Sugar Free Candies

The good people at iVillage generously provided a list of their favorite sugar free candies. While I agree with many of their selections, I thought I should create a list of my own. Here goes, counting down to number one…

3. Jelly Belly Sugar Free Jelly Beans: As a kid I loved combining the different flavors to create new sensations such as popcorn or Dr. Pepper. These candies may be for kids but I think they’re pretty great. Plus, there’s only 80 calories in a serving of 35 pieces!

2. York Sugar Free Peppermint Patties: I was a little hesitant to try these at first because I am such a fan of the originals. Actually, the originals only have 3 grams of fat in them but the sugar free version is delicious and has about 19 percent fewer calories. They taste really good and very similar to the full-calorie version.

1. Werther’s Sugar Free Candies: Okay y’all, I absolutely LOVE these! They taste creamy and very naughty but 5 pieces only has 40 calories. They’re a little hard to find but the hunt is definitely worth it.
