A perfect chocolate fix, single packaging
|

Cost maybe
|

I am a chocoholic and also being a LC dieter I missed the real feel of high quality chocolate candies. While there are other product made with sugar alcohols (which usually upset my tummy)RS chocolates are prepared with Splenda. The Pecan Delights are just like Turtles, the Toffee Squares comparable to Heath Bars and the Peppermint Patties are very close to York. The Peanut Butter combo package contain white chocolate peanut butter cups, regular peanut butter cups and a Peanut Crunch which is very similar to Butterfinger. The peanut butter cups are a little bit grainy in texture, not quite as smooth as Reese's. But all-in-all, I wouldn't give them up for love nor money.

Definitely satisfies the chocolate craving
|
|
Cons:

Could cause a stall in weight loss

I absolutely love all lc products I've tried by Russell Stover. They are wonderful. I found though that I tended to eat too many and either stalled or gained. My advice is "eat in moderation". Common Sense I know.

Positive aspects of the product (pros):
|
Available in my area- liked the dark chocolate
|
|
Cons:
|
raspberry filled chocolates are not creamy
|
|
Russell Stover LC chocolates in "dark chocolate" are very creamy, melt in the mouth and have a very good and satisfying taste. Although I love the taste of natural raspberry and that of the Doves SF raspberry chocolates, the Russell Stover raspberry chocolates need work. The chocolate shell melts leaving a center more like the texture of tootsie rolls. I like toostie rolls, but want my chocolates to pleasingly melt in my mouth.

Positive aspects of the product (pros):

just one prevents any desre for forbidden fruits
|
|
Cons:
|
possibility of stall in weight loss if one a day is exceeded
|
|
i would prefer not to eat sweet substitutes and so reeducate myself to do without but on the other hand life is meant to have variation isnt it?
the pecan delights are not too sweet and satisfy that morning tea break expectation of something nice to break the monotony of the working day.

Positive aspects of the product (pros):

Tastes about as good as the real thing
|
|
Cons:
|
They DO contain sugar alcohols
|
|
I would give these a much higher rating but for the sugar alcohol... Toffee Squares have 15.3g SA in two pieces) and Pecan Delights have 11.?g SA in two pieces (even with glasses I can't quite make out the last digit). I think the packaging is slightly misleading in that they put a big Splenda logo on the front, and you don't know it has SAs unless you read the fine print on the back. Unless you eat a little too much and find out the hard way...

great taste
|
|
Cons:

price, sugar alcohol can cause digestive upset
|

I've tried the Pecan Delights and Toffee Squares, and both have a great texture and excellent flavor, as good as any full-sugar chocolates. Unfortunately, like many people, if I eat more than just a couple of pieces I pay the "sugar alcohol" price of digestive upset. Perhaps this isn't such a bad thing, though, because they taste so good the temptation would be to eat the entire bag if you didn't know there would be discomfort afterward.

If you have to have something sweet, and eat this to make sure that you don't eat the wrong thing, then go for it!! But, beware, and make sure that you are close to a bathroom!!!

They taste delicious but I learned the hard way, NOT to eat more than the serving size. Anything made with Malitol = massive stomach issues for the next several hours.

I can't realy find much packaged as "low carb" but their sugar free candy is the same thing and it's great. I can't even tell that it's low carb, just don't eat too many.
