> erythritol (looks, feels and cooks almost exactly like sugar)

The taste is quite different though.

Perhaps. This is subjective. But I could hardly tell the difference.

The taste difference will never let it pass as candy on its own. It has to be used in foods where other flavors can dominate it, and only let the sweetness through.

It's not like it's bad, though. It's just not what sucrose-eaters are accustomed to.

I actually enjoy eating pure erythritol with a tablespoon.
