this "candy " is almost too good to be true!

If someone has already posted this - sorry for the duplication. I just discovered a candy called Ice chips. Omg sooo good, and it is made with xylitol. I was in the local healthfood store, and I thought I would get some licorice as a treat, because I knew someone once who was type I diabetic, and she ate licorice because it was low glycemic. I am not diabetic but am staying away from sugar for obvious reasons. Well, the licorice I found....I did not like what I saw on the nutrition label. Then Licorice Ice Chips caught my eye. It said right on the package that it was good for diabetics and good for your teeth! It comes in a tin like altoids, and they are these sweet little chips. It's a hard candy you suck on, and it is so hard to believe it's not made with sugar!

I was so blown away I found their website. Turns out xylitol IS good for your teeth, and it is a natural sugar substitute. They have lots of flavors, and I have now ordered a bunch from Amazon. So far licorice, lemon, and cinnamon are my faves.

If you have a sweet tooth like I do, I recommend these. They do NOT trigger cravings like real sugar candy does. I guess because it doesn't spike your blood sugar.

I love love love them!

PS xylitol has a slight laxative effect. Could be helpful for a sleever at times, but I would not eat the whole tin in a day

AND!

Xylitol is toxic to dogs. I leave mine at work, since my dog gets into anything.

Thank you for this post! I will be looking for these right away. And I could totally stand to have a laxative effect.

Only happens if you over indulge! I only noticed it when my variety pack arrived & i had to try them all even then, it wasnt catastrophic, i promise
