Do these exist? They would be nice to have for fasts

I bought some for 'emergencies' before starting-I think they are about 16 calories per sweet-but I haven't actually opened the packets yet, 7 weeks in. I got mine in the local Garden Centre

I have them - good standby for a sweet snack but don't have too many as they can have a laxative effect (seriously!). I like Ricola sugar free herbal sweets (6 cals per sweet) - Sainsbury and Asda stock them, or Werther's original sugar free candy also nice.

We've got plenty in Greece so I guess that there will be more in the UK.

Aldi do some butterscotch ones about 9 calories per sweet I think. Nice with coffee.

Peppersmith do a range of gums, mints and sweets at less than two calories each. I love the lemon mints myself, but there are other flavours too.

The selection of sugar-free sweets in Europe compared to the UK is MAHOOSIVE! I travel to Italy a couple of times a year and stock up whilst I'm there. There really isn't much of a selection here.

I just found this thread Is there any problem with these sweets making you feel hungry in the way that Diet Coke etc is meant to do?

Don't know .My emergency low cal sweets are still unopened.Just knowing they are there seems to work.

I don't have a problem with the peppersmith ones making me hungry, but it's probably different for different people.
