High consumption of sugar alcohols causes GI upset in a lot of people, which is why you usually only see them used in small quantities (gum, mints, or non-edibles like toothpaste and mouthwash).
Russel-Stover makes sugar-free chocolates, peanut butter cups, and other confections that rely on sugar alcohols and sucralose to replace the missing sugar. They carry a warning on the bag that eating more than 3 pieces may cause diarrhea.

I have personally experienced the intense regret of eating an entire package of maltitol chocolates/gummy bears on multiple occasions. It's a good way to train yourself not to each so much freaking candy in one sitting.
