    Nestle have brought out 2 new chocolate bars, a Low Carb KitKat and a low carb packet of Rolos.
    Great news until you look at the prices.
    KitKat (2 finger!) EURO 1.20
    Rolo's EURO 2.30.

    OUCH

    Where did you see these? I haven't seen them yet. Sugar-free chocolate is in general ridiculously expensive. Unforunate eh?

    It's all chemically crap anyway.

    Better just having the 70 - 100% natural chocalate stuff. Tastes way better when you get used to it too.

    woodies bars are gorgeous and you can get them in any health food store.

    Cadburys do a dark choc bar that is 78% cocoa, it's got a lot less sugar than ordinary chocolate and doesn't have that manky polyol or malitol aftertaste.

    The rolos are yum, but the kitkat is a bit aftertastey.

    Boots do a range of sugar-free chocolate and sweets, which are sweetened with maltitol. A huge slab has only a few grams of carb, but I have noticed some unpleasant windy side-effects after eating some. Having said that, the plain chocolate is fairly good.

    Nature's Way sell Sweet'n'Low sugar-free chocolate for E1.20 a bar in milk, plain and white. I think it's pretty good chocolate, and doesn't have the side effects that the Boot's chocolate does.

    Other health shops sell the Woodie's bars, which are nice, but not very large. I don't think that they really constitute good value for money, unless you can find a shop selling the multipacks.

    Any of the Wrigley's Sugarfree mints, such as the Extra mints are ok to eat, as they are sweetened with polyols.
