Most grocery stores have sugar-free Reese's Peanut Butter Cups....I have looked for sugar-free candy, but have not found any. I would love to have a sugar-free Reese's Peanut Butter Cup. Guess I'll keep looking!

Our WalMart has them, so if your's doesn't ask the Manager to stock them for you!

Walmarts has them. Sometimes you can find them in drug stores over by the diabetic supplies section.

I just bought some at Sam Wholesale Club in Ft. Worth Texas. They are made by Atkins and are really good. I can get about 4 diff types of candy at Sams made by Atkins. The Atkins bars made like a brownie are the ones I like the best. I don't buy other brands. They may really low carb and sugar free, but I don't trust them yet and I trust Atkins.

re sugar free candies -
Be careful w/the sugar free chocolates. The sugar variant that they use can have a laxative effect.
As a diabetic, I've tried some of these candies, but find they are overpriced and not that much different in the carbs. If I want chocolate, I'm gonna have a plain Hershey's bar or one truffle and be done w/it.
It AIN'T the sugar, per se, it's the carbs... One peanut butter cup (even one a day) : ) is not going to do the long term harm that a constant diet of pasta, white bread, and white rice will.
With so much diabetes in my family, I wish I had known that connection. I called myself eating healthily by being mostly vegetarian and eating a lot of carbohydrates - afterall, isn't that what the government told us, lay off the fats and red meat, eat carbs? I wonder how many of us who are genetically predisposed to diabetes have pushed ourselves into it by following government guidelines?
