Candy Description
We have chosen what we feel are the best sugar substitutes and artificial sweeteners suitable for making lollipops.
We use Isomalt for our sugar substitute because
- It has a glycemic index or GI of 2,
- Makes a lollipop with only 12 calories
- Just 5.7 grams of carb per pops and O net carbs
- Has a shelf life approximately twice of our sugar candy
- Does not promote tooth decay
- Starts out as beet sugar before processing.
- It eats and tastes GREAT!
This creates a candy that will have a minimum effect on your blood sugar while being surprisingly flavorful and delightfully sweet.
Because all sugar substitutes are not as sweet as sugar we add an artificial sweetener . We use Splenda ®Brand sweetener because it is sweet without aftertaste.
