What it is
A hard lime sweet with a chocolate centre, made with sweeteners rather than sugar.
Taste
Where it comes from
Sugar free versions of traditional British sweets grew out of the diabetic confectionery market, which used sorbitol and later isomalt and maltitol. The technical challenge is that these sweeteners behave differently when boiled, so the recipes had to be rebuilt rather than simply substituted.
What it's made of
Isomalt and sucralose boiled hard with lime flavouring and citric acid, formed around a sugar free dark chocolate centre made with maltitol.
