Not that I know of... yet. (I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong).

I was thinking of making these truffles from the recipe section on this board. No sugar alcohols and they look pretty easy to make (and tasty too)! They'll be my Valentine's candy for DH and me.

There is one chocolate bar made by Carb-o-lite (or Carb-o-rite - they can't seem to make up their mind. LOL!) It is called At Last and it uses erythritol - a newer sugar alcohol that is proving to be pretty acceptable for those of us who test our blood sugars. The thread is here: Artificial sweetener tests

If you see a bar with the name At Last (they make others but they have maltitol in it - avoid these until you have a chance to play around and see how they react on you) you might want to try a bit for an occasional treat.
