The Bottom Line
This line of chocolate-covered bite sized candies is one of the few candies made with erythritol, the sugar alcohol with the least impact on blood sugar. It comes in 5 flavors in “movie-sized” boxes. The candy tastes good, in the flavors I’ve tried. The least expensive way to get them that I have found is to order them in cartons of 12 boxes.
Pros
- Chocolate candy that does not use maltitol or other problematic sugar alcohols
- Zero effective carbohydrate
- Tastes good
Cons
- On the expensive side
- Probably will have to order them
- Inulin can cause mild gas in some

Guide Review - Carb Slim Bites Candy
Ingredients: Key ingredient is chocolate, with other variations by flavor. Sweeteners are erythritol and sucralose (Splenda). Although the erythritol does not generally cause intestinal discomfort, inulin (another additive in the candy) can cause (usually mild) intestinal gas. Possible allergens or other problematic foods: all flavors have some soy and milk products, some have peanuts and some have wheat.Flavor: The ones I tried tasted mainly of chocolate, i.e. there is not a very prominent peanut butter flavor in the Peanut Butter Crunch. The caramel flavor in the Caramel Crunch is a bit artificial tasting. Still, they all tasted quite good. They are certainly very decent “movie candy”. Peanut Butter Crunch is my personal favorite.
Price: I have seen prices ranging from $1.89 to $2.49 per 1.5 oz box. Buying a case with 12 boxes can bring the price down to around $1.55-$1.60 per box.
