Now Sweetened with a Combination of Stevia & Maltitol
3 oz. to 3.5 oz. bags of individually wrapped pieces of wonderful sugar-free Russell Stover candies sweetened with Stevia and maltitol.
For years, Russell Stover has been known for making some of the best regular and sugar-free chocolate in the world. For the last 10-12 years, they have made their sugar-free chocolate with a combination of maltitol and sucralose (Splenda) and it became the industry standard until now.
Released in 2017, Russell Stover’s new Sugar-Free Chocolates sweetened with stevia extract and maltitol makes the best even better. You won’t be able to tell that these are sugar-free and you’ll love the perfect mix of sugar-free chocolate and other ingredients.

I enjoyed your peanut butter cups with maltitol but…. I paid for it later in the day. The maltitol does not digest well. I ended up with horrible gas.
I had given my Mother… A diabetic some of you chocolates for Christmas as “Sugar Free” was written on the package. I was led to believe that “Sugar Free” was safe for her to eat!!!… Her blood sugars spiked!!. Not a good gift for her at all. In fact a dangerous one!!
After these two experiences, I looked up maltitol and found out that it acts like sugar in our bodies and even though it isn’t sugar.. it is almost as bad for diabetics as sugar… and is known for giving people gas!
I’m really not happy about this and feel that there should be warnings on the packaging so that others don’t need to suffer!

Products with maltitol as an ingredient are not for everyone.
Most sugar-free products do not spike blood sugar but it can happen in some people.
There are absolutely warnings on the bags. “Excess consumption may cause a laxative effect.”
I always find myself wondering what these candy makers consider “excessive consumption”. Because the number of sugar-free chocolates (that is, small, bite sized pieces, hard or soft) that it takes to send me to the bathroom all day is two. Not ten. Not twenty. Not two-hundred. Not two pounds. Two.
The reason people want stevia chocolate is because stevia is not maltitol. I saw these things in the store, and was instantly disappointed upon reading the label. Was hoping other chocolate makers were finally starting to read their audience but I suppose it was not meant to be.
I will be sticking with Lily’s.
I LOVE these! Have eaten an entire bag and NEVER experienced ill effects. The Coconut are awesome!
I thought that Stevia was the only sugar replacement in Russell Stover mini, sugar free candies, until reading current labels showing Malitol included. One or maybe two morsels after dinner has recently caused my next day starting unexpected bathroom visits. I have changed my high fibre diet this week and looked for the source of the cause. I put away rather than enjoyed my Malitol Stovers tonight. Things could be changed, I hope.
Russell Stover Sugar-Free candies and chocolates have always had maltitol as a sweetener but they used to add Splenda and now Stevia as an additional sweetener.
Yes, Russell Stover, it is deceptive and that is why we say on this website, Sweetened with Stevia & Maltitol.

Do diabetics need to count the total carbohydrates of these stevia chocolates or just count the NET carbs?
