    Sweet tarts/smarties/nerds.

    They are all dextrose based candy and work in the same fashion.

    I would not use fructose corn syrup, no.

    I supplied the alternatives I would utilize above, you may have missed them.

    i used to eat 1.5 packs of sweet tarts in order to get the amount of dex i needed for pwo. Its hard to eat that many though immediately after workout.
