ChocZero Sugar Free Fruit Chews, Low Carb Keto Friendly Taffy Candy, No Sugar Alcohols, High Fiber, Gluten Free, Orange Strawberry Watermelon, 8 oz Box

I wanted to write a review of these because it seems like people expected Starburst-like texture or something a lot softer, but from what I've learned as a diabetic, is that sugar is what makes those candies super soft. I've tried reduced-sugar Hi Chews and they have a similar texture to those. These are definitely more like those Now and Later candies, but not as soft. They get stuck in your teeth easily but that's just normal with sugar free candies in my experience. I love the flavors. Watermelon is the weakest. But they all taste kinda creamy, which I do prefer. Not entirely fruity. Orange tastes like a creamsicle, and strawberry tastes like ice cream or milk. Or a paleta de fresa de leche. I think that's why the watermelon feels kinda weak, cause it doesn't really fit the creaminess (unintentional or not). I do wish the individual pieces were bigger. With Hi Chews or Starburst, you could shovel them into your mouth no problem because of how soft they were. With these, you gotta let them sit in your mouth for a bit for them to soften. Because of that, bigger pieces could be nice. Also, huge bonus for not using maltitol. One of the worst sugar substitutes ever. And 18 grams of fiber per 8 pieces is really nice too. Other NSA candies tend to have a looooooot of fiber which will upset most people's stomachs. Pretty content for what they are. Will definitely buy them again. Would love to see more flavors too, even the classics like green apple, mango, lemon, cherry, etc.

I am addicted! These are by far my favorite sugar free without all the bad stuff candy. I love that they are in packs of 8 packs with 8 individually wrapped pieces. Great for on the go or anytime. They are more expensive because of the quality ingredients. One suggestion would be to just package the ingredients a bag loose and maybe reduce the cost. They are slightly firm at first but immediately begin to soften. They aren’t as sticky as taffy. They melt more than anything. The dozen or so boxes I have purchased have been fresh so they definitely last a while.

Still tastes sweet, without the sugar, but... The watermelon has a strong taste of watermelon, for a few seconds. The flavor becomes slight, and unless my taste buds are broken, there is also a hint of garlic. Real offsetting.

Flavors are quite good and they last throughout a very long chew. Yes, like others have said, these candies are not soft and sticky but I'm fine with that because I was actually looking for a more firm, taffy-like consistency like the old fashioned "turkish taffy bars" and these candies are right on the money. I like that you have to chew a bit more as this means your "treat" is going to last a bit longer. The size of the candies remind me of the old fashioned, pink bubble gum rectangles which is a proper chewing size. There are 8 packets in the family size box and they are made of some kind of strong glossy, cardboard-like material. They do not tear easily so there is a pull tab, tear around section for opening the packet. There are 8 individual pieces inside of each packet which can be tossed in a purse or, because the candies are also individually wrapped inside the packet, you can carry a few individual pieces in your pocket. As with most sugar-free products the price seemed a little high but since it has taken me longer to finish a single piece, I actually feel as though the price is fine...more satisfaction for the money.

I’m so annoyed because I ordered these one time before and really enjoyed them. They were soft/chewy and the flavor was good.It was a great alternative for actual starbursts. But this time my experience was not good. They were hard as a rock and continued to stay hard as a rock five minutes into sucking on them. Last time I got them, you could bite them straight out of the wrapper and not have it break your teeth. Not the same candy I got before 😠very disappointed. Not sure if I got a bad batch or what..

Normally these are very good, but my last batch of pink candies had black spots on them - not sure if it's mold or dirt or what.

I love these for keto. Getting to still have a treat is everything. Taste good, perfect chewiness without being to hard. Ive bought this multiple times.

I'm glad to see Choc Zero putting out more products, but this is similar to some of the others: the taste is great, but the claims aren't quite honest. You get quite a bit in this pack at least, which is nice. The issue is the company relies heavily on "resistant starches" to claim minimal net carbs and that the products are keto-friendly. The FDA allows these to be labeled as fiber because they share some properties. But they are not fiber. This also makes them not really keto-friendly, nor diabetic-friendly because these resistant starches don't have to be labeled as carbs, but they still cause significant blood sugar spikes for many people (though not all). That makes the marketing misleading at best. And this is something the company has been made aware of for quite some time. They just don't seem to care about doing better. Now, don't get me wrong. These are delicious. They remind me of Mambos. But they are nearly impossible to chew (painful if you don't suck on them like a lozenge for a while for them to soften up). And, as I should have expected, they spiked my blood sugar in line with normal, much cheaper, candy. Not keto friendly. Not diabetic-safe. I love that they use monk fruit rather than stevia. But we're at a point where allulose is getting cheaper and cheaper, has fewer issues with blood sugar spikes, and behaves just like normal sugars (so it can caramelize, lead to softer candies and ice creams, etc.). If they could sort out their obsession with resistant starches that are not safe for all customers on keto or for diabetics, and if they'd adopt allulose to fix some of the texture issues, their products could be must-have staples in our diets. Taste is always spot on. But that's not worth it when misleading claims put people's health at risk.
