OMG! I have died and gone to Heaven! well, not yet but You may think so after trying these.
First I just want to say that in no way, shape, or form am I employed by Russell Stover.
They come in blueberry, apple, cinnamon roll, and granola(i think). The blueberry ones are the best!
I have eaten one a day for the last week and I have lost 3 lbs. So they don't stall me.
I ssooooo feel like I'm cheating when I eat one of these.
They carry them at the larger chains of Walmart. I haven't looked for them anywhere else. They are located beside all the "power bars".

Anyone else had them?

Beware of gas and possibly diarrhea. These things are usually loaded with bad kinds of sugar alcohols that do nasty things to one's gut.

Just an FYI, if sugar alcohols DO NOT bother you, your body is processing them just as they would carbs. Hence, I would urge you to count the gross carbs in lieu of the net carbs, which is a HUGE difference. Jill

My grocery store carries several kinds of RS sugar-free candies, I limit myself to 1 a day. They're good. Also, Dove has some SF candies too that are also good. (I like the raspberry chocolate.)

I have a box of them in my freezer but unfortunately I found them way too sweet. Hubby won't even eat them. :lol:

Thanks, I've never seen these. Love the Russell Stover Net Carb candies, though.

Just be careful. A few years ago I thought these didn't bother me either, until they did. You become addicted to them just as you would a carb, and it's not a good thing!! I have them now on very rare occasions.

I love the Dove s/f raspberry chocolate candies. That's what i have once in awhile if I'm in the mood for a piece of chocolate.

If I'm remembering correctly, one of the higher-ranking muckety-mucks in the Stover family lost a lot of weight on a low carb diet, and decided that they would start making the sugar-free candies. A very nice man. :)

I find it incredible the high quality treats that are available, RS being one of the best. Unfortunatly I discovered that they do stall me, so my "stash" , which I did limit to 1 piece a day, has been put on hold until I reach maintenence.
