My favorite of all is Ice Chips, which is what the xylitol-sweetened candy looks like. All the flavors I tried were natural-tasting, which they should be given the ingredients used. Besides the fruit flavors, the coffee and cream one is amazingly good. Only drawback is they are expensive and regular supermarkets don’t carry it. Check in health food stores. Actually, there is a second drawback: it’s impossible to eat just a couple of pieces.
Ricola, the Swiss lozenge company, makes a fine sugar-free lemon drop for soothing throats. It tastes good whether or not the throat hurts. Walmart sells it, plus supermarkets.
I like Hall's Breezers - they come in strawberry creme and berry flavors.
They do have pectin in them, if that's an issue for you; the sweeteners are isomalt and malitol.
I like the Hall’s Breezers sugarless berry lozenges, too. They have a touch of menthol or something that slightly opens up mildly congested sinuses. Soothing.

Ricola has a lot of other flavors, but I am not sure if they sell them in the US. I have found flavors like sour apple or orange, but I think I’ve only found them in Asia with warnings that if you eat too many in an hour, you’ll get diarrhea. Here I like the sugar free lemon.

Sugar alcohols can cause a "laxative effect". For me, mannitol and sorbitol create the worst side effects. Malitol and isomalt are a little better tolerated. Erythritol and xylitol I can tolerate with the least side effects.
I read every label carefully before consuming, and limit the number of candies I eat in any one day.
Oh, and sugar alcohols are toxic to dogs and cats. If you have critters, be careful.
Russel Stover makes a bunch of flavors of hard candy that are sugar free. I haven't tried them, but remember my sister saying their sugar free peanut butter cups tasted like the real thing, so maybe the hard candies are worth a try.
