As far as sugar-free sweets go, the way it is sweetened is important.

If it is sweetened with sugar alcohol (like Hershey's), eat very little or your stomache will make you hate life.

If it is sweetened with Maltitol (a natural sweetener with low impact on blood/sugar levels), your stomache will like you much better.

If it is sweetened with an artificial sweetner, your stomache will be fine. The preferred artificial sweetnert is Splenda. Splenda is made from sugar, so it tastes like sugar. Also, it has zero carbs, and it is not a carcinogen.
