I know it's expensive, but a lot of those upper end grocery stores have a lot of low sugar or sugar free sweets, and even my Albertson's regular grocery store has a section in the cereal aisle with nothing but sugar free sweets!
Be careful of commercial sugar free brownies and anything that says "sugar free." They're full of fat. Check the ingredients. Another gimmick is to say they're "sugar free," assuming that most people think sugar's just that white stuff in the sugar bowl. But they substitute other forms of sugar: honey, molasses, agave, brown sugar, & dates, which are the most sugar-crammed fruit.

But the sugar free log cabin syrup is terrific. They use Splenda. That's because it's intended to stay liquid. But only real sugar (in whatever form) can make the cookie or sweet stiff at room temperature. Durn!
