CNDY Mint Sugar Free Sweets | 100% Xylitol, Aspartame Free, Low Calorie, Vegan, Gluten Free & Keto | Total 280g, 280 Pieces (Pack of 7)

Updated...erithyol has sugar alcohol carbs that offset the carbs per gram. So these are keto friendly.Researched and they are keto friendly asBought these as said keto friendly and net carbs low. However the small box states 38g carbs and nothing to offset that to reduce the carbs for keto diet. Wasted my money. Opened it so can't return. Not too happy to give to the grandchildren due to ingredients.

an earlier reviewer stated you get 47 sweets per box...I haven't counted. but x 7 that's getting on for 350 sweets. I'm diabetic and have to be careful with sugar intake, these are so nice I don't feel i'm missing out, plus they are guilt free. The mints are really nice, stevia hasn't had bad press as yet The next day delivery happened within 24 hoursvery happy customer will order again

I ordered these sweets as the whole family are trying to lower our sugar intake, but unfortunately we do still all like sweet things.The sweets arrive very well presented, with a printed outer carton containing 7 individual boxes, the individual boxes are a bit fiddly to open properly, but if you do it, they are recloseable and it allows you to dispense a few sweets at a time.We got 3 boxes of berry flavour, 2 boxes of mint flavoured and 2 boxes of lemon flavoured sweets, they are suckable or crunchable type sweets, and do have the appearance of tablets. Taste wise I tried the mint first which I did really like, it's a strong minty taste with no aftertaste that I could tell. Sadly I wasn't very keen on the berry or the lemon flavoured varieties, they seem to start off palateable, but then the flavour intensifies to an unpleasant level.Overall I do really like the presentation, the resealable boxes are a clever idea, the sweets aren't sticky so can be left in a car or in your handbag safely, and the mint variety are very nice, but the fruit flavours just aren't my kind of flavour, so I wouldn't purchase them in future.

But frankly the packaging is just awful. There must be better ways. That flap is miserable

Given these are heavily marketed as low carb and Keto friendly, and the description further down the page states that they're 16 calories and 3g of carbs per box, as someone following a keto diet to control blood sugars, I was very keen to try them, as most sugar-free sweets in the supermarkets are still quite high in carbs.After ordering, I noticed that small print in the listing elsewhere says 97g carbs per 100g, which obviously didn't match the 3g carbs per 40g box in the images. I checked the company website, and that also fails to show the nutritional information as printed on the box. I wasn't, therefore, terribly hopeful that they would live up to the headlining promise of being a truly keto-friendly product.When these arrived, the nutritional information confirmed my fears - there was no mistake in the 97g carbs per 100g - which is 16cal & 38g net carbs per box (confirmed on the packaging for both the 100g and the 40g information). Not only that, but the offending carby ingredient is maltodextrin, which is known to spike blood sugar and to be avoided if on keto, diabetic or at risk of diabetes. With 40 sweets per box, this equates to 1g carbs per sweet!I wasted 15% of my daily carb allowance tasting one of each of these, so I could review them for flavour. They're all nice enough, hence the 2* rating, but are no better or worse than any of the sugar free sweets from the supermarket I already have to avoid because of the high carb content.A quick search online shows that regular sugar sweets of a similar texture range from 87g-95g carbs per 100g, so these actually have more carbs than standard sweets. I can honestly see no point in a "sugar-free" sweet that has all the glucose-boosting effects of sugar with less of the flavour (but with added laxative effect).These are definitely NOT low carb or keto, and the maltodextrin would be expected to have an adverse effect on blood sugar for anyone needing to manage their glucose levels.If I were to want to buy this type of product, I could do so at the cheaper supermarkets for less than £1 per box for a similar amount with a similar carb content, but as someone controlling carbs and glucose levels, these are simply not suitable and not as described.

These are delicious! The mint is a nice subtle mint, so great for when I have been feeling nauseous or just want to freshen my breath. I love lemon and its a nice non-artificial tasting lemon. The berry one is really nice and my favourite; again, it doesn't taste artificial. They have a chalky texture but don't leave a residue on your tongue but the fact that there are barely any calories means you can snack on these guilt free!

These sugar free sweets arrived in well designed cardboard packaging holding 7 individual boxes (3x berry, 2x lemon and 2 mint flavours)The boxes are resealable so great for on the go and small enough to pop in your handbag, glove box etc. The boxes come with a perforated tab which I found a little fiddly to open if I was trying to rush it. Out of the three flavours the mint ones were the winner in our family and berry was the least popular. I like the fact that these are free from artificial sweeteners and flavours. They are sweetened with stevia and erythritol instead. Unfortunately stevia leaves a really dry and unpleasant lingering aftertaste in my mouth so these sweets are sadly not for me. My husband and children, on the other hand really enjoyed them.

For low calorie sweets I wasn't expecting much but all 3 flavours are super tasty and genuinely better than the variety of top well known brand sweets. I'm not usually a Mint lover but I even like the Mint flavour!Each box contains a generous amount of sweets, they last ages and you'd never guess they are super low cal. I will absolutely be ordering more.
