Oh Nuts | Sugar Free Holiday Candy!

The holiday season is one of indulgence.  Lots of big family meals, special treats, fancy desserts.  So what to do if you’re watching your weight, or have special dietary restrictions?

Oh Nuts! is a candy company that far goes above and beyond the usual selection of common candy.  I was really excited to see their selection of Sugar Free Candy.  One member of my family has a health-based need to minimize sugar intake this year, and the rest of us are trying to lose a few pounds.  Of course, this doesn’t mean we want to give up our holiday treats and snacks altogether!

Oh Nuts! features five main categories of Sugar Free Candy:  Wrapped, Unwrapped, Chocolate, Gum, and Gifts!  So if you have a diabetic or otherwise restricted friend or relative, you can still send them an indulgent gift without endangering their health.  And if you’ve got a snacker who won’t comply with their “health rules,” start stocking some of these goodies instead of the usual grocery store fare!

Gum is a great stocking stuffer, and I’m particularly intrigued by the selection of “Must” brand gum featured on Oh Nuts!.  Flavors include:  Peppermint, Spearmint, Fruit, Cherry, Orange, Mango Peach, Whitening, and Kids Fruit.  I’m a big gum chewer, so I’d be happy to unwrap some Must this Christmas!

While I haven’t tried any sugar free gum yet, Oh Nuts! did send me several sugar free selections to review.  After much debate, I chose the Salt Water Taffy, De’ Mint Truffles, and Viennese Crunch.

Assortment includes:  Strawberry, Banana, Pineapple, Chocolate, and Vanilla.  $5.99/lb.

Everyone in my family loves taffy!  It’s usually a treat we bring home from Maine vacations, but I thought it would be a nice surprise for Christmas!  The taffy is delicious and has a wonderful texture, just don’t eat too much – according to Oh Nuts!, “excessive consumption may cause a laxative effect in sensitive individuals.”

“You won’t find a tastier truffle delight than our sugar free De’Mint Truffle, packing a wallop of flavor and completely no sugar.  This is a special chocolate for those who seek the refreshing taste of mint and dark chocolate.  $12.99/lb”

Chocolate is something I couldn’t bare to give up, and the mint in these truffles is a perfect pairing!  Wonderfully delicious and totally satisfying.

“You’ll have to restock quickly on these irresistible crowd pleasers!  Our sugar free Viennese Crunch bars offer the outstanding taste of our classic Viennese Crunch, with the added benefit of being sugar free.  Viennese Crunch bars disappear in the blink of an eye; they are that scrumptious, so we suggest ordering extra so you don’t run out.”

Smooth, creamy chocolate is wonderful…  but way too easy to overeat, even when it’s sugar free!  I find that adding a crunch to my candy makes me feel satisfied faster, as having to chew more really makes me feel like I’m eating!  The Viennese Crunch is a perfect mix of sweet chocolate and crunch!

Of course, if you and your loved ones don’t have any dietary restrictions, Oh Nuts! has plenty of candy for you, too!  Check out their vast selection of Christmas and Hannukah gifts and goodies to cover all your sweet needs!
