Andy Anand Chocolatier Sugar Free Espresso Coffee Hard Candy - Made in Europe Gluten Free & Diabetic Friendly Coffee Candy, With Real Unique Flavor Hard Candy Individually Wrapped (Pack of 2)

I have been buying this sugar-free candy for several years. I’ve actually purchased these candies more than 50 times from Amazon. However, I am disappointed because all of my previous orders came in a box, with each candy individually wrapped. My last three orders arrived in two jars, and the candies are no longer wrapped! Amazon credited me each time because customer service recognized that, for some reason, Andy Anand Chocolatier is no longer wrapping these candies or shipping them in boxes, even though the box still appears on Amazon's site and on the seller’s store site. I still love this espresso candy, but not being individually wrapped is very disappointing. These photos show exactly how the candies are advertised, but no longer arrive as expected.

Package that was received looked like it had been opened and resealed. The chocolate was dried out and looked old. Didn't even look like the chocolates in the images.

ISOMALT is an alcohol sugar. Can cause GI cramping and/or diarrhea. Taste is strong.

A little expensive yes, but the quality - wow - and sugar free. They are delicious - i got them for a little caffeine hit on a sluggish day. They certainly fit that bill.

These are tiny individually wrapped hard candies, with a coffee flavor. They are made from just 3 ingredients: isomalt; espresso coffee powder; and stevia. Stevia is a sugar substitute, and isomalt, which I’d never heard of, is as well. Isomalt can apparently cause stomach upsets if taken in greater than limited quantities, and the package label warns of this. But as said, these candies are tiny and wouldn’t normally be eaten in large quantities. I didn’t see the calories and other nutritional information on the packaging, but they do appear on the Amazon listing. It indicates 35 calories for 4 candies (8.75 calories each). More surprising is the claim of 10 grams of fiber per 4 candies (36% of Daily Value) and 32 mcg of Vitamin D (160% of Daily Value). The flavor is definitely of coffee, but it’s very subdued. I love coffee and would’ve preferred a much more pronounced flavor. But while mild, it is pleasant. I didn’t detect any of the odd flavors or aftertaste you sometimes get with sugar substitutes. These little candies are nothing to write home about, but if you like a quick sweet treat after a meal or during the day, and one which is very low in calories, these might be a good option.

Delish for my tummy so much flavor in these 3 ingredients.

These coffee candies do have a coffee flavor to them. It is a bit mild then I prefer. A little stronger would have been better. Overall they do make a good occasional snack/treat.

delicious candy, super coffee flavour

Ne goûtent pas le Café. Pas un bon produit et non remboursable.

I love the strong coffee flavour of these candies. But there's a problem. This product has a history of a number of designs and presentations. This is a sign there's some experimentation going on, and on various levels. Also, a sticky label on the box warns that eating too many of these candies may cause "stomach trouble". It turns out that all it takes is eating 3 within 24 hours to cause severe diarrhea. The warning - in mouse-print - on the sticky label indicates that the manufacturer is aware that one or more of the ingredients makes people sick. If they are experimenting with suitable formulas, they should not release the product until they've figured out a recipe that won't hurt people. Selling this stuff before it's been proven to be safe for everyone is irresponsible, negligent, and depending on the severity of the effect on an individual with a medical condition could even be considered criminal. As a result, I will not be purchasing any of the Anand products presented here.

Subtle coffee taste. Had much better w other brands.

They list two of the three ingredients, leading you to assume, that the third ingredient is cocoa, as they are a chocolatier. Also, the box arrived with an addressing label affixed over the box label. This is dangerous misrepresentation!!! The third ingredient is actually isomalt. I ended up experiencing severe diarrhea and pain for a day and a half, reminiscent of Botulism symptoms. In the end, I was severely dehydrated, extremely weak, and couldn't put anything on my stomach until the day after.
