Correct!

The answer is: Sweets and candies

Xylitol is a sugar alcohol -- an artifical sweetener created from birch, raspberries, plums and corn.1 This sweetener is found in many human "sugar free" products, such as gum, candies and other sweets. In humans, high doses may have a mild laxitive effect, but in dogs, ingestion could be fatal.
