Now that I'm pregnant, however, I'm careful to monitor my sweets and be certain that I'm not overdoing it. I tend to get shaky or nervous if I eat even a small bit of sugar these days. Since I crave flavors like caramel and coffee, I was thrilled to be asked to try the new Werther's Original Sugar Free treats. They come in a few flavors I was expecting (Original Caramel, Caramel Cinnamon, and Caramel Coffee.)
They also have one very unique flavor: Caramel Apple. This is my kids' favorite!
The candies taste great, and I love crunching on them. They have that awesome toffee break when you bite into them, and they also last a long time if you patiently suck on them (which I can never will myself to do.) With 40% fewer calories than regular Werther's Original Hard Candies, I can have a couple on a car ride, in the plane, or when sitting at my desk. I tend to crave sweets when I drink my morning and afternoon cups of coffee, so these have been a lifesaver for me when I crave a greasy donut or chunk of cake. I get the sweet flavor I want, but I'm not going to be jittery later.
Since they are individually wrapped, you can toss them in a bag or drawer, and they keep fresh for when you need them. (I like finding one unexpectedly in my mass of papers and clutter -- SCORE!)
This is a responsible choice for candy lovers, that I'm glad I found out about. I keep a small jar at my desk with the cinnamon ones in them (my favorite). If you struggle with balancing your sugar intake, I think you'll find these to be a satisfying option.
