Any diabetics here?

My Grampa has a huge sweet tooth, but he is diabetic so he is not supposed to have any candy. Has anyone ever had any of the sugar free candy, and could recommend some that tastes good? I want to get him some for Christmas but have no idea what tastes good, thanks in advance :)

Their diabetic candy, I think, is very good, especially their "turtles." :)

3. Most of the ones using Sorbitol (or sorbitrol) taste good

I used to buy the diatetic candy and jams for my grandpa from Figi's and he never knew the difference.

4. Ashers makes incredible sugar free chocolates

They have a wide variety. I'm addicted to the Liquid Caramel filled bars. Lot's of places are carrying them now and i'm sure you can find them on-line.

10. My diabetic husband swears by the chocolate covered cherries

We find them sugar-free at Betty Jane's Candies. :) Most of the items you find at candy stores will be good stuff.
