Reviews of Caring Candies
Review on AllergySense.com
by AllergyMom, May 18. 2010
"Not only are these candies and lollipops all-natural, they are also delicious and sweet. If you’ve never heard of Caring Candies, you are in for a real treat. The entire line is nut free, peanut free, wheat free, gluten free, soy free, egg free, dairy free and fat free. They are also kosher, sugar-free and beautiful to look at. Each candy we sampled featured beautiful swirl color and the kids went crazy for them. I wasn’t sure how they would go over with the kids truthfully as the candies are sugar-free. We tried them on 3 kids and got the thumbs up from all of them. One tried the swirl lollipop, another had the Kidz lollipop and the third tried the rainbow spiralz.
As these candies are sugar-free they are also diabetic friendly and low on the glycemic index (for those of you tracking numbers they are a 9 out of 100). To put this product to the true test, we asked candy lovers what they thought of the product too – that is sugar-loving candy lovers. And, the product continued to get thumbs up from everyone.
With beautiful and bold colors and a great taste, try them out on your family & friends."

Sugar Free Candy
With Plenty Of Taste: "With delicious, all-natural, sugar-free lollipops for kids and hard candies (bonbons) for adults, Caring Candies shows how much it cares about people who can’t have regular sugar. The sugar-free candy is excellent, with no off flavors and beautiful natural colors. The line is diabetes-friendly, tooth-friendly and certified kosher. . . ." For the full 2-page review, click here.

"If you didn’t know this candy was sugar-free, you would have no idea…it tastes that good! The flavor of the aniseed in the Licorice candies is true to the licorice whips I ate as a kid with my grandfather. Brings back fond memories.”
"Light and airy, these sugar free Caring Candies mints are an absolute delight. The mints have a light flavor perfect for freshening your breath after a meal. I love that these candies are all-natural and sugar free, and taste better than conventional candy."
"I tried the licorice flavor. Since I am not a huge fan of licorice, I was a little wary to try them. However, after trying one, I thoroughly enjoyed it. The flavor wasn't too heavy or strong. I would recommend this candy to others."
Aidan's Review
by Aidan Flaherty (10 years old).
Aidan
Flaherty has severe and rare food allergies. He is severely allergic to
all common and many rare food allergens and suffers from severe
environmental allergies.
"With my allergies it is really
hard to find
yummy snacks and candy that I can eat. Most of the candies I eat don't
taste so great to my friends who don't have any allergies. When my mother gives me these
safe treats, my friends usually say "YUCK" or "NO WAY I EAT THAT!” But NOT with CARING CANDIES. When I
shared some Caring Candies, my friends said nothing!! They thought it
was just the regular stuff . . . yummy candy. That was great day! I finally get to have
something that is a real treat for me and my friends! For Halloween, I
do not have to trade my candy for coins but can EAT real yummy candies.
Caring Candies are way cool."
Heather's Review
Heather is
the co-founder of REHEST-Really Healthy Stuff.
"Caring Candies was
established by two very frustrated parents. Who wouldn’t be? Holidays,
birthday parties, Halloween. . . As mothers, we secretly dread “the
sugar overload experience” We have been made to just accept it as there
has never been an alternative. For years I would watch doctors,
therapists, neurologists, speech pathologists and health care providers
reward children with sugary candy treats at the end of a therapy or
evaluation session. Within minutes you would see the child go from calm
to bonkers while getting lollipops, Swedish fish, sour dinosaurs
etc…all loaded with dyes and sugar. Try going to any bank and chances
are your child is "rewarded" with the cheapest lollipop, full of sugar,
artificial colors and chemical preservatives.
Now,
with CARING CANDIES children and adults with food allergies, sensory
integration dysfunction, speech and oral motor issues, diabetics and
those following special diets (such as Kosher diets) finally have a an
assortment of candies that taste yummy, look great and are good for your
child. You can feel good about giving Caring Candies to them! And
they do look beautiful! Caring Candies uses colors from natural sources
for their vibrant colors, no synthetic or chemical dyes or
preservatives. Caring Candies are also great for the health conscious
because they uses different herbs for calmness and digestion. There simply are NO
candies like Caring Candies in the entire United States. Try them
yourself or give some to your child. I promise you, you won't regret
it!"

Testimonials
Review on amazon.com: (5.0 out of 5 stars): you'd never believe they are sugar free!
"A friend recommended that we give these a try. I was shocked! The colors are obviously eye catching to both young and old but, honestly, I was surprised that they taste so good. I usually avoid products that are labeled "sugar free" because chemical sweeteners leave a terrible after taste and cause headaches in my daughter and I. These candies are truly different. We love them! I am sure that they would be perfect for people with allergies or people who need sugar free products for health reasons. For our family, I like that they satisfy my daughter's sweet tooth with out me actually having to give her sugar! How great is that! When I pass these out to my daughter and her friends there is absolutely no guilt involved on my part. I can always answer yes when she asks for candy!
Hint: The lollipops are great for parents to keep in their pocket when going to the grocery store. As soon as my children ask for all those processed, artificial snacks in the aisles I pull out one of these lollipops and it keeps them busy long enough for me to get my shopping done."

"I am thrilled that Heather has been able to launch this website and reach out to others. She was so helpful with my son's food intolerances that contributed to his asthma. Her knowledge is quite broad and she is able to give practical solutions to help me as a parent find replacement foods for what my son loved. Kudos!"
