Two of my favorite flavors are chocolate and peppermint. When these two flavors are combined, I just love the resulting amalgamation. In my humble opinion, no other product better exemplifies the dynamic and exciting flavor combination of chocolate and peppermint than York Peppermint Patties. Recently, I had the opportunity to try York Sugar Free Peppermint Patties and I’m very glad that I did. Because I do have something of a sweet tooth and diabetes runs in my family, any time I have the opportunity to sample a sugar free sweet treat, I relish the opportunity.
To me, York Sugar Free Peppermint Patties are every bit as fresh, exciting and flavorful as their regular counterparts. I was actually amazed when I firt tried one of these sugar free candies. I couldn’t believe that they were sugar free. The chocolate tastes just like regular chocolate and the peppermint filling also tastes essentially the same as the filling in the regular York Peppermint Patties. These sugar free candies so impressed me, that I have decided to write a product review of the item. Presented here, in an effort to assist the consumer, is one food writer’s product review of York Sugar Free Peppermint Patties.
Size
The net weight of the package of York Sugar Free Peppermint Patties is 3.0 ounces. The package itself is not very big and I was somewhat surprised by how few servings were contained in it. According to the package label, the package contains 2.5 servings of three pieces of candy.
Packaging
York Sugar Free Peppermint Patties are packaged in an attractive gray, white and blue plastic bag. The bag is easy to open and reclose and it also lists all relevant ingredient and nutritional information.
Texture
Amazingly, I think that the texture of York Sugar Free Peppermint Patties is essentially the same as the regular York Peppermint Patties. Whereas some other sugar free chocolates that I have eaten have featured somewhat mushy textures, not so with these candies. The York Sugar Free Peppermint Patties are still soft, but they also maintain a firmness that makes them interesting to eat. I also like the little bit of snap that the chocolate coating offers when one of these candies is bitten – into.

This product also contains 2.5 grams of saturated fat, 0 grams trans fat, 4.5 grams total fat, 0 mg of sodium, 28 grams total carbohydrates, 1 gram of dietary fiber, 0 grams of sugars and 1 gram of protein.

Taste / Flavor
As stated above, I really like the flavor of York Sugar Free Peppermint Patties. I find it hard to believe that these candies are actually sugar free becaue they taste so much like the regular peppermint patties. If you are a fan of regular York Peppermint Patties, chances are you will like these just as much as the regular variety of these candies.
Price
The regular retail price charged for one three ounce package of York Sugar Free Peppermint Patties at Hartford, Connecticut area supermarkets and pharmacies is approximately $2.19. I think that this price is reasonable, considering the great taste and overall high quality of the product. A comparable amount of candy purchased one bar at a time would cost considerably more.
