I prefer a small amount of the sugar sweetened stuff over SF.

Unlike alot of pumpers I still eat alot of sugar free stuff. I guess I am so use to it that it would be weird to buy the regular stuff. I draw the line at most baked good though and always buy the regular kind. If anyone has tried the sugar free chocolate pie that Walmart sell, then you understand, yucky! I love sugar free jello and the Jello sugar free rice pudding packs. I also love blue bunny low fat sugar free ice cream. You get a cup of ice cream with fudge swirls, chocolate covered peanuts, and peanut butter cups for 30g of carb. It is awesome!

Just diet soda for me. I feel weird about sugar free stuff. But oddly have no problems with diet soda. I'd rather eat real food though. Also I don't want to to keep it around the house b/c I don't want my kids to be eating fake sweeteners.

However, who knows, in a few years I may completely change my mind.

It depends. I can generally handle smaller amounts of the real stuff, especially with baked goods. But there are some sugar-free items I enjoy. Let's see...of the easily accessible varieties, I like the Werther's sugar-free caramels, sugar-free York peppermint patties (but can't have too many of them at one go), and sugar-free popsicles. I've tried Emerald Nuts' Cocoa Roasted Almonds. They're a little strange...the cocoa flavor reminds me of breakfast cereal chocolate flavor.

For a big splurge, I like Enstrom's Candies.
http://www.enstrom.com/sugarfree.aspx
English toffee, toffee popcorn, nut assortment, and mint meltaways.
Toffee: This stuff is fantastic!!! Heavy on the maltitol, so proceed with caution.
Mint meltaways: Also good. I think I like Yorkies better, though. (Likewise on the maltitol.)

Girl Scouts: SUGAR-FREE chocolate toffee bits (Ashdon Farms)
Nutritional info: http://www.alschutzman.com/proddetail.php?baseitem=9032
Pretty decent for sugar-free. Maltitol, so watch it if you're sensitive. The toffee bits are kind of "sticky" in consistency. (Slightly different "tooth-feel" than full-sugar toffees I've had.)

Judy's Candy Company
http://www.judyscandy.com/index3.htm
They offer sugar free versions of many of their favorites. I love the caramels--even more than the regular ones. Their peanut brittle and toffee are great. I found that I didn't care for the nut clusters as much, the milk chocolate wasn't quite chocolatey enough for my taste.

Halter sugar-free bon-bons. (Made in Switzerland by Halter Bonbons.) I like the caramel and green apple flavors best.

Sadly, I haven't found a sugar-free chocolate I really like, but I can tolerate the regular dark chocolate (60-80%) pretty well. While not sugar-free, Vere chocolates' "diabetic friendly" items worked well for me. Extremely chocolatey! http://www.verechocolate.com/chocolates/catalog/diabetic-friendly

Pubsgal,

Thanks for all the great links! I've been looking for some sugar free chocolates "off the beaten path." There are only so many options in the grocery. It's good to see that there are some good online options.

I'm a big choc eater and I have to say that Jello choc pudding w lite cool whip has SAVED ME. my wife keeps it in the fridge and so now I don't feel the need for choc bars or candy, and I can resist the sweets at work. JELLO ROCKS!!!
