Hi

I live in Canada and was wondering if there is a difference in the actual net carb of 5 Miniature Reese's cup?
The nutritional information on the bag of sugar free Reese Miniature peanut butter cup is 27g Carbs - 2g Fiber - 20g Sugar Alcohols = 5 grams of net carbs for 5 pieces.

I modified the recipe and was figuring the net carb per potion and realized that my Reese's pieces appeared to contain more carbs then the one posted.

Thanks.

I don't know about the Reeses peanut butter cups, but I have found in a lot of SF things like chocolates in Canada that are made with Splenda instead of other sweeteners, and that increases the carb count.

sgmk the ingredient list will never tell you wrong.I am famaliar with the  peanut butter cups and that carb count is right ,but if you eat 5 you better be home near a bathroom.
I posted a recipe for homemade peanut butter cups that are alot healthier.
If you need me to repost it just let me know.

I checked and there is a difference on the net carb count on the Reese's Peanut Butter Cups from the U.S. and the ones from Canada.  I looked when I was at Walmart (Canada) today at they say 27g carbs, Fiber 2g, Sugar Alcohols 20g, from Hershey Canada, Mississauga, ON (5 net carbs for 5 pieces).  I actually had ordered some from the Low Carb Grocery and they must get theirs from the U.S. because they say 27g carbs, Fiber 6g, sugar alcohols 20g, from Hershey, PA (1 net carb for 5 pieces).   Is there a difference how they count fibers in Canada and the U.S.  You would think Hershey would use the same recipe for anything they make, no matter in which country. 

[umpa]

I would contact Hershey.

[ShihTzuMom1]

I sent an email to Hershey.  We'll see what they have to say.

HERE IS A COPY OF THE EMAIL I SENT TO HERSHEY CANADA:

"I have a question about some of the nutritional information for the Reese's Sugar Free Miniature Peanut Butter Cups.  The packages from Hershey Canada read:   27g Carbs - 2g Fiber - 20g Sugar Alcohols = 5 grams of net carbs for 5 pieces.  The packages from the U.S. read:  27g Carbs -6g Fiber - 20g Sugar Alcohols = 1 grams of net carbs for 5 pieces.  Do you use a different recipe in Canada and the U.S. or does each country count fibers differently?"

AND HERE IS THEIR ANSWER (and it's as clear as mud):

Thank you for contacting Hershey Canada Inc.
The differences you've noted are the result of a slight change in nutrient information of one or more ingredients.

They didnt answer your question at all. That's why it's clear as mud. The question was dodged completely. Maybe umpa will ask them.....
