Sugar-Free Treats that Tasteas Good as the Original?! Yep!

Our son was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes when he was in kindergarten.  We were completely thrown for a loop with that diagnosis.  As with so many things, we just didn't know that much about it until we had to.  I feared that I had caused it by feeding him too much sugar.  {Not true!} I feared that we were going to have to give up sugar as a family completely.  {Also not true} As a baker {by hobby}, that made me really sad.  We weren't sure how we were going to fit his new condition into our family life -- how we would find a new "normal" or what "normal" even was with a diabetic child. 

Now, 7 years later, we are still trying to figure that all out, but were in a better place.  Riley enjoys sweets in moderation as long as he is doing a good job regulating his blood sugars.  I still get to bake {hallelujah} and diabetes is nothing more than a tiny blip on our radar.  While we don't avoid sugar completely, we get super excited whenever we find sugar-free, lower carb options that taste as good as regular.  We found just such a treat this week and I HAD to share it with you guys.

Werther's Original Sugar Free Candy is so good, y'all.  I had every intention of saving it all for Riley, but I have been stealing pieces all week.  I love Werther's Original hard candies and these taste just the same -- only better because they're pretty much guilt-free.  And they come in 4 flavors - Classic Caramel, Caramel Apple, Caramel Coffee, and Caramel Cinnamon.  Aren't they pretty?

Oooooooooohhhhhhh, the cinnamon.  Those are my favorite.  I know there are lots of reasons aside from diabetes that cause people to try and stay away from sugar.  Whatever your reason is, I urge you to give these Werther's Original Sugar-Free Candies a try.  I was really pleasantly surprised at how delicious they are.  My only complaint is that I have been finding little gold wrappers all over my house since we got them, but that is hardly Werther's fault, is it?  Apparently I am not the only one who can't stop sneaking pieces.

Go!
