Isomalt
Quote:
You will be please to know that in Coles, Big W etc recently I stumbled across Ricci brand sugar free Splenda sweetened fruit chews, mints and Caramel chews. I thought I had struck it rich! But to make it even better a couple of days ago I discovered that Double D (yes the eucalyptus lolly brand) are now making orange drops, mints, butterscotch, apple drops, lemon drops, fruit drops and ice mints, and a couple of others all in sugar free also! They are isomalt sweetened.

Hi Aussie Jo
I also got really excited when I found the Double D lollies..they were SO yummy, but then when I looked up Isomalt on the net (I was curious why they listed the artificial sweetner under the Carb section of the nutrition panel) and found out it was a carbohydrate, something like 3.? per lolly if I remember correctly. I was very upset 'cos they were so yum and I thought I'D struck it rich!! Maybe I misunderstood, is isomalt not a carbohydrate? I hope I am wrong!!
What's worse? A carbohydrate or sugar? (just curious)

PS I LOVE my Cadbury Lite chocolate!!
