I know that in P1 SF hard candies are allowed (as part of your sweet treat allotment), how about SF chocolate candy (i.e. mini SF hershey bars or SF reese's PB cups). I would gladly give up my nightly jell-o for a few PB cups!

TIA

Yes, they would count as part of the 75 cal limit. Here's an extract from the Phase 1 food list located in the FAQ section as a sticky:
SWEET TREATS (Limit to 75 calories per day)
Sweet treats are items that contain sugar alcohols, such as:
Candies, hard, sugar-free
Chocolate powder, no-added-sugar
Cocoa powder, baking type
Fudgsicles, no sugar added
Gelatin, sugar-free
Gum, sugar-free
James and jellies, sugar-free
Popsicles, sugar-free
Syrups, sugar-free
Whipped topping, light or fat-free - 2 TBS
Some Sugar Free Products may be made with sugar alcohols (isomalt, lactitol, mannitol, sorbitol or xylitol) and are permitted on the SBD. They may have associated side effects of GI distress (abdominal pain, diarrhea & gas) if consumed in excessive amounts.

As a side note, I've tried the SF chocolates like reeses pb cups but the side effects I got were just not worth it for me.

Thanks for your quick response, Schatzi

Does anyone know why there is a calorie limit on the SF sweet stuff? I've read the book but I lent it out to someone and never got it back

I believe its because they are empty calories that normally dont have any nutritional value

The daily limit is 75 cals on the sweet treats
