sugar free candy?

Can anyone recommend a good sugar free candy that doesn't have loads of sugar alcohol?  Most evenings after dinner I have a SF Caramel Nips hard candy or a SF Brachs Lemon Drop but I would love to find something chewy. I know that I should eat a piece of fruit if I want something sweet, but there are times that I just want a piece of candy and I don't dare try anything with sugar because I have experienced dumping syndrome once (from a granola bar) and once was definitely enough.

Russell Stover makes sugar free candies like Mint Patties, Toffee, Peanut Butter Cups, etc. Not sure about the sugar alcohols. I tried it and it did not make me dump and I have dumped before.

I have bought some from Winco bulk food that I liked. Also I have chewy calciums that taste like tootsie rolls, starburst lemon and strawberry. Love those and it helps me with keeping up with my calcium.
Another sweet thing to try are the sf Torani Syrups from Walmart I've put a little in plain yogurt and also in my protein drink. Just everyonce in awhile and not very much unless I'm constipated...lol...

I also like the Crystal Light sugar free hard candies.  I particularly enjoy them after eating a strong-tasting food like tuna.  I like the Russell Stover sugar free chocolate candies as well.  They do have a fair amount of sugar alcohols, but if you only eat one or two pieces, you should be OK.

I second the calcium chews , they are my treat! I love caramel so I buy the Caramel Calcium Citrate Chew by Bariatric Advantage. Two birds with one stone, I get a treat and my calcium!

 I use the bariatric advantage calcium chews as my candy treat.  I have had caramel, strawberry and raspberry.  I like the lemon and raspberry the best, they taste like starbursts.  I eat one lemon and one raspberry (500 mg protein together).  I am a dumper on sugar alcohols and they do not make me dump, plus you get in your calcium.

Thanks everyone for your responses.  I have placed an order for the Bariatric Advantage calcium chews and am going to check out the Weigh****chers SF items this weekend at the grocery store.  I'm also going to try and find some of the See's SF items.  Thanks!!!
