Azraelle, technically, it is possible to sub a sugar alcohol for the sugar and go the traditional candymaking route for fudge. Technically Because of the slightly different ways sugar alcohols crystallize, though, it can get REALLY complicated. That's why most of the lc fudges you find, even the ones with sugar alcohols lean heavily towards other kinds of thickeners like cream cheese.

Here is a commercial recipe for a caramel flavored fudge using erythritol and maltitol syrup.
