There used to be some candy in the rations we got in the Army...just jerking your chain, brucie!

No matter how hard I try, I do sometimes break down and buy a Rocky Road bar (fresh, not stale). Chocolate over cashews and marshmallow. Mmm-mmm-good! I'm also partial to white chocolate Reese's cups and those caramels from Alice in Montana.

But I'm supposed to be on a sugar-free diet 'cause of insulin resistance. Aspertame gives me headaches, saccharine leaves a bad after taste, and the sorbitols upset my stomach.

No, I haven't found anything in the way of candy, yet.

But I have found Splenda sugar substitute. Can't tell the difference between it and sugar (maybe because it's supposed to be made from sugar). It's delicious on berries! Really.

I've often wondered: if I ate equal quantities of "invert sugar" and regular sugar, wouldn't they cancel each out?
