KEY DIFFERENCES
PSugar-free candies are heat stable. PSugar-free candies are not affected by acid but high temperature exposure of acids may cause problems due to the breakdown of the acid. PSugar-free candy bases are generally lower in viscosity at high temperatures
PSugar-free candies usually incorporate an intense sweetener to compensate for the reduced sweetness of the base.
