Tom & Jenny's Sugar Free Soft Caramels, Spiced Rum 2.9 oz

Who would have thought you could have such good tasting caramel on a keto diet. They are soft. They are tasty. You can't tell they are sugar free. They don't stick to your teeth or dental work. They don't spike your blood sugar. This is probably the best tasting sugar free candy you've ever had. Founders of Tom & Jenny's went to great lengths to create a caramel that's both healthy and tastes great - and they succeeded on both counts. They spent a year perfecting the recipe! It shows!!

• We don't like what added sugar does to our bodies or smiles. But boy do we have a sweet tooth! We use natural, plant-derived sugar alcohols (a misnomer because they are neither sugar, nor alcohol) like xylitol and maltitol. Though they taste just like sugar, they aren't processed by your body the same way, so you end up with lower blood-sugar impact.

• Gluten-free

  Caramels should be inherently gluten-free, right? Unfortunately we found enough caramels out there made with wheat that we thought it was important to ensure none of our ingredients contain or are derived from wheat, rye, barley, or crossbreeds of those grains.

• Net carbs/serving

  Because eating too many simple carbs can seriously throw your blood sugar out of whack, we worked to keep net carbs as low as possible. At 12g net carbs per five-piece serving, that's just 2.5g per piece or around 40% lower than your average sugar caramel. We calculate net carbs using the formula [net carbs] = [total carbs] - [fiber] - [50% x sugar alcohols]

• Calories/serving

  Another benefit of the sweeteners we use: lower calories. At 100 calories per five-piece serving, our bites of deliciousness have approximately 33% fewer calories than the average sugar caramel.

• Tooth-friendly

  One of Dr. Jenny's priorities was ensuring our caramels would help, not harm, dental health. This starts with the xylitol. Every piece has about one gram of this wonder-sweetener that actively reduces harmful acidity and cavity-causing bacteria on your teeth. We painstakingly tested our caramels to make sure they are soft enough not to damage teeth or dental work and to melt within minutes.

What ingredients do you use?
We pride ourselves on using high quality ingredients like fresh—never powdered—milk cream. Our caramels are sweetened with Xylitol and Maltitol Syrup, two plant-derived sugar alcohols (a misnomer because they are neither sugar nor alcoholic). They contain up to 33% fewer calories and half the net-carbs of sugar. Click here to learn more about our ingredients and nutrition facts!
