We are glad to hear that you enjoyed our sweets. The sugar free syrup we
use is Hydrogenated Glucose. It's a sweetner substitute for diabetics.
Hope that helps answer your question.

Thank you

And here's a discussion of Hydrogenated Glucose. It can metabolize in your body to maltitol and sorbitol, so I suppose overindulgence could lead to the squirts. However, this stuff is So.Goddamn.Good.And.Rich that 3 pieces spread over the course of a day will do ya fine. And you don't even want more for several days. Yeah. It's that good.

So order away!!
