Chewing gums containing erythritol and methods of making such gums are disclosed. In one embodiment, the gum comprises about 5% to about 95% gum base, about 0.1% to about 10% flavoring agent and erythritol, the erythritol being the only bulk sweetener. The erythritol provides the gum with unique properties, and the gum may be non-cariogenic. In other embodiments, the erythritol is co-dried with other sweeteners or coevaporated with a plasticizing syrup to produce unique sweetening ingredients and syrups for gum.
