Ideas about candy?

[Globetrotter 1,340]

I'm feeling the urge to nibble. I knit in the evenings to give my hands something to do but at work I don't want to get into any bad habits - snack foods are everywhere.

Does anybody know of some good candies that sleevers can suck on without too much guilt? I'm assuming sugarless/sugar free and I figure if it is a hard candy then it will last longer in my mouth and give my tongue something to do.

You might be thinking, gum! But gum is frowned upon in my workplace. A hard candy wouldn't be so obvious.

So if anybody has any ideas on hard candies with negligible calories and no sugar, please let me know!

I really wouldn`t go down that road, Its like just one cigarette.

nah, that would be the case if we were talking french fries but sugarless candy I'm not afraid of.

I like Russell Stover sugar free Peanut Butter Brittle. It lasts a while & tastes quite good.

Weight Watchers has some really good candies out there too. I keep almonds in my desk for when I feel the need to munch.

Excellent ideas, I had totally forgotten about almonds! Peanut brittle? Oh yeah, I could suck on one piece for a long time!

Just keep in mind that most sugar free candies, if eaten in large quantities, has a laxative effect. So don't eat too many in one day.

I know! Thank goodness!! That would, uh, help things.

Some S/F candy can also create major gas. Painful. LOL Try eating it at home before going out in public. But Werther's has a good S/F candy.

I use sugar free mints at work to keep me from munching on the crap people bring and leave in the break room. I really like Ice Breakers, and they have an orange flavor that's good if you're not in the mood for the toothpaste taste.

I also like the Jolly Rancher sugar free hard candies. They have 10 calories per piece, I think, but they last quite awhile if you don't chew them up.
