Oh Werther’s Original Hard Candies, Where Have You Been All My Life? #WerthersSugarFree

In my family, diabetes is very common.  Both grandmas, my great aunt, my great uncle, my cousin, my great grandma, and my dad, all became diabetics later in life.  They all have (and had) to take test their blood and monitor what they eat, plus exercise.  Since I am still young, I am trying to get into healthy habits now.  I walk everyday, I am working on what I eat and I see a doctor regularly.  Once thing though that always gets me is candy.  I very much have a sweet tooth.  I am constantly looking for something to chew on.  With my high blood pressure, I try to stay away from salty chips but with my fear of diabetes I always try to keep my sugar level in tact.

Now honestly when I thought of Werther’s Candy in the past, I thought of old people.  Yes something about it being a hard candy in a wrapper made me think of something my grandma would have.  Let me tell you, I love these things now!  I am so glad I tried Werther’s candies!  I had no clue either that they came in different flavors.  With just 8 calories and 3g carbs per candy, these are the perfect candy for any sweet tooth!  Wether you are counting calories, diabetic looking for sugar free candy or love carmel in general, these candies are delicious!

The flavors available are:

• Classic Caramel
• Caramel Apple
• Caramel Coffee
• Caramel Cinnamon

I had tried sugar free candy in the past, per my dentist’s recommendation, and it either had a weird aftertaste or just didn’t have any real flavor.  Werther’s Original Sugar Free may be a hard candy but it is rich in flavor.  I feel too that sucking on a hard candy makes it last longer and me eat less, as if it was a chewy candy I’d chew it quickly and want another one.  I feel like I savor these more!  I would never have guessed they are sugar-free.  Werther’s has been making their candy using their 100-year old caramel making tradition using real butter and fresh cream, and you can really taste the flavor.    These hard candies have taken up permanent residence in my office, kitchen and my purse.  I love that I can pop one in, suck all the flavor out and just savor the moment.  Sugar free, low in calories, rich in flavor and affordable – love them!
