Werthers Original Hard Sugar Free Caramel Coffee Candy, 2.75 oz

Good flavor. Creamy taste as it dissolves. I like best the coffee flavor (I'm a coffee drinker, too, but with sugar-free creamer). Nice for after a meal, or even between meals to qualm the hunger cravings. Usually have 2 since 1 just isn't enough, because they're so yummy. I get the sugar-free variety, because it's too tempting to eat more of these. I'm diabetic, and losing weight to help, so I need to reduce my sugar intake. I'd buy these even not so, except they are 1.4 times the price of the sugared variety. I'd get the sugared variety if not for the diabetes. Has Acesulfame-K as an artificial heat-stable sweetener, but I've never had any stomach or intestinal problems with it, and no bitter aftertaste; however, although tempting, I don't eat a whole bag at a time. Stays on my wish list. HOWEVER, the sugared variety is 70 calories with 1 g fat and 15 g carbs, and this sugar-free variety is 40 calories with 1 g fat and 15 g carbs, so the sugar-free variety won't really help with weight loss (I watch carbs, less on calories). So, at 1.4 times the price of the sugared variety, and if not critical on calories (no difference on carbs), you might as well get the sugared variety. Anything to help lower my blood sugar is good. Acesulfame-K is not processed by the body, and passes out through urine; i.e., has no nutritional value. Luckily I don't eat many of these per day (maybe 4), so the 140% higher price isn't an issue for me.
