Well, the Oscars were this past weekend, and if you’re a fan of movies like me you may have found yourself rushing to go out and catch up on the nominated films before the awards got handed out. It’s a little more fun to watch the Oscars when you know the movies they are talking about. Or maybe you’re a fan of the blockbuster Hollywood movies. With 2011 breaking records for the most sequels being released, and a long list of superhero movies coming, you may find yourself making several trips to the movies.
Part of the experience of going to the movies for me sometimes having a little treat to much on during the film. Popcorn can be dangerous as it’s easy to eat too much. Most theaters have a wide selection of candy that is loaded with carbs and best to stay away from. Some theaters have started to have healthy alternative snacks like fruits and nuts, but even those things won’t satisfy you if you have a sweet tooth.

So what do I do? Two of my favorite treats are Russel Stovers Sugar Free and Low Carb Chocolates (I like the Toffee, and they have the least carbs) and Werthers Originals Suger free Coffee candies. They are both made with Splenda so they taste good, but are all sugar alcohols when it comes to carbs so they don’t count. Now I wouldn’t go eating the whole bag here as you find that your movie experience might become filled with remorse and stomach cramps, but a couple of these can be a nice treat during a flick. Go slow and savor them.
