Sugarless Success

Wed., Oct. 27, 1999

Halloween can be a scary time indeed for kids of all ages who can’t (or don’t want to) have sugar.

For the restricted sweet tooth, the Spokandy candy company makes pint-sized pumpkins in both white and dark chocolate that are sweetened with mannitol and sorbitol instead of sugar.

Think of it as one treat that won’t play tricks on you.

Price: $1.25 each (also available in a regular version with sugar for 99 cents).

Available: At Spokandy locations downtown (1412 W. Third), in the Spokane Valley Mall, in the NorthTown Mall and in Coeur d’Alene (212 Ironwood Drive).
