Operating purely from a health perspective, Epicurious set out to taste some sugar-free chocolates to see if there was one on the market that didn't "taste like chalk." In this case, they were taste testing the treats with a Halloween loving but candy-deprived diabetic, so the test was not conducted from a weight-loss or low-carb mindset . This is a solid indication that the tasters really were putting taste first, and not the nutrition label. The chocolates were grouped by brand:
- Hershey's - Winner: Sugar Free York Peppermint Patties, Loser: No Sugar Hershey bars ("truly awful")
- Guylian - Winner: Dark chocolate bar, Loser: Hazelnut bar (unless you're a big hazelnut fan)
- Asher Chocolates - Winner: Espresso truffles and vanilla caramels, Loser: Peppermint patties (not minty enough)
- Godiva - Winner: Milk and dark assortment, dark chocolate candy bars, Loser: None.

First, some sugar free candy tastes fine. But whatever you do, if the candy you get uses sugar alchohol, and there's a warning about "excess consumption can cause laxative effect", BELIEVE THEM. And by excess consumption, they mean more than a couple pieces. I've ate some stuff that has messed my stomach up before, but THIS...

Frankly, I don't care if it's sugar-free or not. I'm in it for the taste. I just love love love chocolates. They can make it sugar-free if they want to. Hell they can make it chocolate-free as long as it still tastes like chocolate,you know what I mean? But thinking of my health, if they can make sugar-free chocolates that will not affect the original taste, then I would definitely go for that. But for now...I'm sticking with my cadbury's.
