Description: Carbolite Sour Citrus Slices (Jellies) - Perfect when you are looking for something simple and sweet-n-sour. Shaped like tiny orange slices, these little jellies have a big taste and are soft. Similar in texture to Chuckles candy but with a delightful sour taste.


Carbolite Jelly Beans - Just like your favorite Easter treat!


Carbolite Milk Chocolate Covered Almonds. Dry roasted almonds covered with our own sugar-free, zero-carb milk chocolate.

Pros: It's candy
Cons: Malitol problems

I bought the gummy candies for my kids and regreted it. The initial taste and texture is like gummi bears but if your kids eat more than two small pieces their intestines will be in knots and they'll think you poisoned them!


We also tried the Carbolite choclate bars but didn't like them; too waxy, off flavor and expensive.

Pros: Great for candy cravings
Cons: Price

I tried the Sour Citrus slices and enjoyed them. I was always a Sour Patch Kids fan, so these reminded me of them. They have malitol, so if you're sensitive to it beware. I'm not malitol sensitive, so I really liked these candies. The downside is how expensive they are. Three dollars for a tiny bag! I'll only buy these when I start having major sour candy cravings.

Pros: Two good flavors- dark chocolate mint and chocolate truffle
Cons: Many, many bad flavors. Also expensive.

I've never tried the bagged "fruit" candies, I've just tried the chocolate bars. I agree that the plain milk chocolate is awful- it tastes much like I would imagine a chocolate-scented candle would taste, waxy with a vague aroma of cocoa.


I did try the Chocolate Truffle the other day out of desperation for a chocolate fix, and it was actually tolerable. It had the same hideous chocolate coating, but it also had an intriguing buttery chocolate filling that reminded me of Fannie May Trinidads. I crave Trinidads in a bad way, so this was a good method of controlling that.


They also have a hard-to-find mint flavor that is very much like the de-lite brand. My favorite is the truffle, though.

Pros:
Cons: Chocolate bars are terrible

I enjoy the sour candies, but I can't eat the chocolate bars. The chocolate is so terrible that I just can't stomach it. The only Carbolite chocolate I can somewhat get through is the Toffee one. The chocolate coating is nasty (as usual), but the toffee inside is good. The peanut butter cup is beyond bad. I took one bite, spit it out, and threw the rest away.


If you're craving chocolate and need a fix, don't waste your money on these. Buy a Ross SF candy bar instead. Their White Chocolate bar is to die for. Tastes like the real thing!

I've had the gummi bears and the sour citrus, both are great...no carbs at all. I love 'em!

Pros: Some of the candy bars are pretty good
Cons: Jelly Slices are GROSS. Jelly Beans TOO Sugary, almost gritty in texture.

The candy bars aren't bad and worth the price if they are on sale. The jelly beans and the gummy slices are HORRID! I ended up throwing them away!

Pros: taste
Cons: laxative effect, major cramping and gas

I bought the sour citrus slices. Needless to say, I'll never put these things in my mouth again. I was so sick after eating them. My kids were laughing at me because I could not leave the bathroom!!! The after effects lasted all evening for me. Whatever you do...do not try these, unless you enjoy hanging out in the bathroom. =)

Pros: Great taste!
Cons: Wish bag was bigger

I purchased the Sour Slices and the Jelly Beans and was very surprised with the taste. They taste great! I especially enjoyed the jelly beans. Will definately order again, and again.
