I apologize for not making the question as clear as intended.
I am aware of the various sugar-free candy that is available, but unfortunately, they still contain a significant amount of carbohydrates.
Does anyone know of any carbohydrate-free candy?

I know that I can eat both regular and sugar-free candy, but I'm looking for volume. That's why carbohydrate-free or low-carb candy would be ideal.

Sugar free candies use sugar alcohols...you'll see them as sorbitol, mannitol, xylitol, to name a few. Some people have no significant rise in their glucose when eating these artificial sweeteners, others will count half the sugar alcohol carbs. The problem with these sweeteners is that can cause diarhea and in fact mannitol is even sometimes used as a laxative for children. Anything over say 20 grams of it will cause problems for most people. Some people are more sensitive than others. I prefer to eat the real thing...in moderation, included in my total carb count, and forget the sugar alcohols used in most sugar free candies. Of course it means that you can not eat as much and I know that is what you're going for, quantity. there are other candies and sweets that are being made with sucralose/Splenda is becoming more popular in some candies but are hard to find. Another problem is that reduced carbs is not always reduced caloricly and might actually be a lot higher. That could be a problem with the quantity issue too. Also...one of those sugar alcohols used, xylitol, was on last night news. Seems it's a poison to dogs. I know I'm different than a dog...but something that kills my dog is not something I want to eat!

I'm a 45 year old woman and was recently diagnosed as being a borderline diabetic. My doctor prescribed some medication, but before filling it I decided to do some research on the internet which led me to the methods. After reading this ebook and applying the methods, my scepticism turned to 100% belief. I noticed that my energy levels increased significantly and I felt more rested in the morning, my symptoms started going away.
I am very happy to tell you that I have been feeling better than I have felt in years and my doctor informed me that he will be taking me off my prescriptions if I keep this up.
I recommend you use the Type 2 Diabetes Destroyer to naturally reverse your diabetes.

Yeah, it's always near the prescription things/bank area/diet pills in a grocery store. I always stare at them when my mom's filling a prescription. You can get normal kinds, like Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. Also, if you go to The Sweet Factory, they have a sugar free section and they usually do have sugar free sections in most candy stores.

YES! Look in your local food store candy department and they will have a section of diabetic candy. My husband was just diagnosed with diabetes and he loves sweets. We both eat this now (so I don't keep regular around the house) and I cannot tell the difference. And, I am picky!

Most sugar-free or diabetic candy contain sugar alcohols. They are absorbed slower in the intestine and don't give the sugar high. One side affect is if you eat too much of it, it can give you diarrhea.

Ther's a lot out there. In fact Russel Stover's and Hershey have their own line of candy. Try looking in the candy aisles at your local drugstore (Long's , Walgreens, ...etc. )
The key is not to over indulge because then they are just as bad for you as the regular ones.
