Sugar-free candy might seem like a smart choice, but this could backfire on you (figuratively and literally) on the beach. The sugar alcohols that sweeten many sugar-free products are indigestible and will simply ferment in your gut and release gas. Not only will you appear puffy, but you’ll likely feel uncomfortable as well. Stick with real Special Dark Kisses, which offer built-in portion control and cacao-supplied antioxidants without the unfortunate digestive issues.
