Maine Cottage Foods Sugar Free Dark Chocolate Macadamia Bark 8 oz. bag - NO MALTITOL Review

Maine Cottage Foods Sugar Free Dark Chocolate Macadamia Bark 8 oz. bag - NO MALTITOL
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This Sugar Free "Dark Chocolate Macadamia Bark" is by far the best tasting diabetic friendly candy I have ever tried! I was excited when this said no Maltitol since that causes me "gastric distress". That being said, it does contain the sweetener oligofructose which can cause extreme flatulence in some people (sadly me included - it is almost cartoon funny), so it looks like my quest for the perfect sugar free chocolate candy continues.
Pros:
+ Really Good Tasting; just about indistinguishable from regular candy - my kids even like it
+ Macadamia Nuts; has a lot of nuts and they taste great!
+ Low Carb; only 2.5 Net carbs for a reasonable size piece
Cons:
- Contains Oligofructose; which causes the similar gastric issues as Maltitol in some people
- Pricey; somewhat expensive
It should be noted that my kids tolerate both Maltitol and Oligofructose without the gastric reactions, so this MIGHT be OK for you.
I still put this in the "Recommended" category since it so very good tasting and doesn't effect everyone the way it effects me.

South Beach Living Snack Pack Delights Dark Chocolate Covered Soynuts, 7-Count Boxes (Pack of 5) Review

South Beach Living Snack Pack Delights Dark Chocolate Covered Soynuts, 7-Count Boxes (Pack of 5)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I purchased this snack because of its great nutritional profile. Unfortunately, the soy beans have a bitter metallic aftertaste. I asked around and apparently the metal taste comes from an unhealthy change in the soy nut starches during frying. I got online in search of an organic version of this product and I found one by a company named Landgarten who produces a variety of Chocolate Covered Organic Snacks. Landgarten cooks their soy beans with hot air at low temperatures to avoid that metallic taste. I ordered 20 packets, which is their case size. I suggest you don't compromise on your health.

If you are on a low carb diet, and some of us who know how to do it properly still are, then you HAVE to try all these mixers! They are absolutely delicious, sugar-free, and you can mix them as you wish for a VERY refreshing beverage!!! I got so bored with rum and diet cola, this is SUCH a nice alternative! The mixers are festive and it's GREAT to not be getting all that sugar! (My 10 year old likes to drink them as an alternative to soft drinks! He doesn't know that they're mixers. A LOT less sugar than other kid's drinks!) I highly, HIGHLY recomend them! Please buy lots so we can keep these folks in business!

Maple Praline Syrup Review

Maple Praline Syrup
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
For those seeking sugar-free products without all of the chemical sweeteners like aspartame, this sugar-free Maple Praline Syrup from Blackberry Patch is a natural solution. A rich praline pecan flavor with hints of vanilla, this syrup is sweet and delicious without being cloying. The thick, slow pouring syrup offers a nice mouthfeel similar to that of "regular" pancake syrup, a nice switch from the watery, too-thin textures of some sugar-free products.
A special bonus is the natural flavoring--no off tastes, no strange chemicals!
It's important to note that the sweetener here is maltitol, a "sugar alcohol" that can, for some, create gastrointestinal discomfort in large amounts (20-30 grams/day). I don't have this experience (perhaps because I don't consume such large amounts), and I appreciate that maltitol is not carcinogenic... A little online research from credible sources may be useful if you're concerned about this issue.
Blackberry Patch makes a number of delicious naturally-flavored sugar-free syrups; this one is my personal favorite. Experiment and find your own favorite!

This Maple Praline syrup has that rich combined flavor of maple syrup and Southern pecans. This syrup is great served on traditional pancakes, waffles, oatmeal, and hot buttered biscuits. But don't stop pouring there - try drizzling some of this Southern 'golden treat' over vanilla ice cream, cheesecake, or pecan pie.

Muscle Milk, Chocolate Milk, 14 Oz. / 12 PK Review

Muscle Milk, Chocolate Milk, 14 Oz. / 12 PK
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The product is great. I get this product primarily for the bottles -- I reuse them to put in my own shakes, and then dispose of them as needed. I find this method to be a cost effective way to have ready to drink (RTD) protein shakes but not be married to always having to clean a shaker or carry it around. When I need to, I just toss a bottle I've been reusing into the recycling bin and get another one. I really like nutritionexpress.com for getting Muscle Milk powder. Order as much product as you want and they send it to you for a flat rate (5.95 now, I believe). I mix up a big batch of Muscle Milk powder with milk and then put it into the bottles from this product. I guess my only complaint is that earlier in November they were 25 dollars a box, and now they are closer to 36.

Maine Cottage Foods Sugar Free Milk Chocolate Almond Bark 8 oz. bag - NO MALTITOL Review

Maine Cottage Foods Sugar Free Milk Chocolate Almond Bark 8 oz. bag - NO MALTITOL
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Main Cottage sugar free "Chocolate Almond Bark" is a very good tasting diabetic friendly treat. I love chocolate, but have a hard time finding low-carb versions that taste good or don't cause me significant "gastric distress". This "Bark" is much better tasting than most and, since it does not contain Maltitol, has little gastric impact on most people.
Although it is indeed low NET carbs (only 1g), it can not be considered a diet snack at 170 Calories per 1.3oz serving (which is a good sized chunk). Most of the Calories come from fat, which likely accounts for the good flavor of this candy.
As the seller notes, this will likely melt somewhat in transit during the summer months and that did indeed happen to my shipment despite the reusable cold pack (which I kept) that was packed in the box. This was easy enough to fix by laying the unopened bag flat in my freezer for a half hour or so.
Highly Recommended!

Dentyne Blast Chocomint Chewing Gum 30-9 Review

Dentyne Blast Chocomint Chewing Gum 30-9
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I wasn't too wild about the idea of chocolate in gum when first offered a piece of the Dentyne Chocomint. But it really works. First you feel as if you're eating a mint flavored piece of chocolate. Then the chocolate pretty well leaves and you're left with a nice mint gum that stays chewable for a long time - meaning it doesn't quickly get rubbery. This is a new favorite in our home and since we can't find it in local stores we're sure grateful for Amazon.com!

Tastes so good it's hard to believe it's zero cal. While a bit thin, perhaps, compared to a typical full-sugar syrup, it has no artificial swetener taste to it that some low/no calorie product substitutes have. Besides using it on pancakes, waffles and the like, I've started using it on cereals and other things that I would normally sprinkle sugar on. I was so happy with my original purchase that I ordered a half dozen bottles the next time around.
