Hi Marg

In the US butter is usually sold in one pound package, separated into 4 "sticks" each of which is 1/4 pound. This equates to around 115 grams.

Cadbury lite has more carb, both on the label, and when run through the hidden carbs calculator. When put through the calculator Cadbury has around 30 carbs, and darrell lea around 28 per 100g.

Hope this helps

In my need for something sweet - I have been into 2 Darrel Lea shops recently and neither stocked lowcarb sweets :( Oh well, guess I will have to go without. I was just interested in trying them.

That's strange Lucy, it is standard stock for them. Are you asking for sugar-free? They have SF chocolate covered nuts, as well as 50g bars, hard and soft candy.

Kim - Maybe I went wrong by asking for low carb sweets not sugar free. I'll try again

Thanks, Lucy

The DL bars I find quite unlike chocolate and unpleasant witha high laxative effect. The nicest ones are available from the following link: www.pictureofhealth.com.au - more expensive but lower carb than any of the others,
