Reese’s Sugar Free Peanut Butter Cups Miniatures

Reese’s Sugar Free Peanut Butter Cups MiniaturesThe Glucoholic is crazy about the wonderful combination of chocolate and peanut butter.

If you are like The Glucoholic, the miniature size might be just enough to satisfy a peanut butter and chocolate craving.

Alas, it was inevitable that eventually one of our low sugar reviews would present a dichotomy, and here we have one. On the good side, these things taste pretty good. On the other side, there are some things that The Glucoholic feels he must bring up, especially for those who might have a tendency to go crazy and eat an entire three ounce bag in one sitting!

Jones Soda has garnered a bit of a cult following in its nearly twenty years, and with flavors like this there should be no question why. The customer supplied pictures that grace the labels of Jones Sodas make each new case an adventure, and they even have a website where you can order custom labeled sodas for yourself!

Splenda: Simply the best artificial sweetener

SplendaWhat can we say about Splenda brand sweetener that has not already been said? The Glucoholic is a Type 2 Diabetic and he often says that his life changed when he discovered this wonderful product. The familiar single serving sweetener packets are actually only one of the fine Splenda brand products available for cooking and baking.

In The Glucoholic’s opinion, Splenda provides the most comparable taste to natural sugar of all the artificial sweeteners. Many of the best no sugar products available on the market today are sweetened with Splenda. More and more restaurants offer Splenda along with the competing brands. Once you try it we’re pretty sure you will love it and join the millions who ask for it in their favorite restaurants and look for it in products on the shelves at their local grocer. Given Splenda’s great taste you should expect to see a lot of products reviewed on this site that contain Splenda as well.

Splenda has almost 0% of the U.S. RDA of everything, and its list of ingredients only contains Dextrose, Maltodextrin, and Sucralose.
