I must admit, I'm addicted to these hard candies.
If I buy them, I eat tons of them til they are gone. Two in my mouth at the same time..
No wonder I can't lose my 7 pounds.!!
Even when I'm really trying to stick to the diet and trying to lose the 7 pounds, I still allow myself 2 before bed.

ANyone else addicted to a sweet? ( A sweet, not a sweetie!)

Darn... wrong forum!! Sorry

It may be the wrong forum, but did you know Werther's makes sugar free hard candies and they taste EXACTLY the same??? Yup, really...they're delicious.

Ok Gayle, are you SURE they taste exactly the same??? Just kidding. I believe you... I'll look for them.
Imagine how many I can eat guilt free!!

Okay kodi, now you've really got me curious: what was the *right* forum for this post?

(Your question seems perfectly reasonable to me for any forum at all..and for what it's worth, although I'm sick of Werther's, having eaten too many of them, I have recently got hooked on their Riesen toffees.)

Kodi - All I can say is I wish I had only 7 pounds to lose!!!!

Vorkuta, I meant to post this thread on the FOdor's Lounge, where anything and everything is discussed that isn't travel related.
Have a look ...
I've had quite a few responses on there.

Traveller, I try to put on the brakes when I've gained 5 pounds but it's getting harder and harder as I get older!!

another vote for the sugar free - discovered them last year in France and they have now made it to Oz. Warning though - the artificial sweetener can have undesired effects for some digestive systems, best to leave the window open if you eat too many in the close confines of a car!

ozgirl, thanks for the warning!!
Maybe that problem would stop me from eating bags of them!!

Yes we drove the in laws car home from Florida this year and they had a bag of sugar free on one side of the car and regular on the other. They really do taste the same. You cant eat too many though as I they always make your mouth hurt when you have too many!

Since you posted on the Canada site, there is a Canadian candy I like better than Werthers--Macintosh toffee. Whenever we go to Canada I buy a case and stretch it out as long as I can. My family knows they have to get my permission to have any!

Annie, I haven't had McIntosh toffee for years. I'll have to give it a try again. Thanks for reminding me..

We still splurge once in awhile and buy a McIntosh bar. When we were kids we used to put them in the freezer and then smash the box against the counter to break it up. I think its time for another one!!!

Yes!!!! What a great memory!!!
I remember smashing them too. I'll have to look for a bar.

I love the macintosh bars, that red box calls me......
The freezing and smashing is a classic; then leave the candy pieces melt in your mouth.

I haven't seen the sugarless werthers, I'm looking for them tomorrow....

This thread, posted on the Canadian forum by mistake, is turning out to be one of the most popular threads...

Ok I really have to find the McIntosh toffee so I can freeze and smash it.

I bought some Werthers today and did see the ones with no sugar. BUt I just knew I'd be eating a lot of them, and I didn't want a sore mouth, so I bought the regular ones.

Vorkuta, funny that this thread is so popular. But good... maybe because of McIntosh toffee!!!

This thread made me go check our stash of sugar free candy (my husband is diabetic). I know I stocked up on the sugar free Werthers toffees in the States. (They are wrapped like toffees not the flat hard ones). I have not been able to find them in Canada but I bought these toffees in I believe Walmart in the States. If they aren't available in Canada maybe we should start our own trading - McIntosh for sugar free Werthers!!!!!!

Traveller, I saw them yesterday at a Petro Can gas station. SO maybe you could try there.
Good luck.

Thanks Kodi. I will try there. It's great these days that there are so many more products for diabetics that actually taste good. Hurray for Splenda. We have a place in the Okanagan and the cherries are ready. So last night I made cherries jubilee with splenda and you really couldn't tell the difference. Of course the cognac didn't have anything to do with it!!
