Thinful is a new low-sugar indulgent snack mix from Piedmont Candy and it shares only two grams of sugar and 60 calories per half-cup serving. Thanks to a proprietary natural sweetener blend, the snack mix boasts "much as 70% less sugar than comparable brands," plus a flavor that's said to be sweeter than table sugar and free from any aftertaste.
The handcrafted snacks are made in small batches and they can be found in decadent flavors like Chocolatey Drizzle, Peanut Butter, Sea Salt Caramel, Snickerdoodle, and Birthday Cake. Popcorn, caramel corn and waffle pretzels are tossed and glazed to create indulgent yet guilt-free flavors that save people from having to fuss over certain ingredients, especially if they are trying to limit or avoid certain sugars.
