The Bottom Line
This fudge tastes really great, and the texture is pretty close to regular fudge. Though it's pricey, it's nice for an occasional treat. It's about as sweet as regular fudge, but without the carbs. The fact that it has no sugar alcohols is a big bonus. The sweetness comes from sweet ingredients that generally have a low glycemic impact (see below). I had several tasters try four different flavors (chocolate, peanut butter, turtle, and chocolate peanut butter), and they were all judged to be very good.
