Hershey's Sugar Free Chocolate has fewer calories compared to their "regular" counterparts. However, they contain about the same level of fat as regular chocolate. Hershey's Sugar Free chocolate contains sugar alcohols such as maltitol to replace the sugar. These sugar alcohols are digested more slowly and generally cause a relatively small rise in blood sugar levels. For people with diabetes, this is preferable to the sharper increase in blood sugar associated with products containing sugar. Experience the same high quality and famous taste of regular Hershey's milk chocolate - but without the sugar and about 20% fewer calories. Enjoy the rich, satisfying flavor of the only Sugar Free Special Dark Chocolates Candy good enough to be called Hershey's.
I ordered Hershey's Sugar Free Milk Chocolate candies for my boyfriend. Although he said it doesn't taste as good as the real thing (duh) it does serve the intended purpose. We both live on a low sugar diet and he says this candy serves the purpose quite well.
