Default Question about low carb candy?

We went to Wal*Mart yesterday to get Easter candy for the kids. I fouund some low carb candy, but I still have a hard time understanding things about this stuff. Here's my question - Ok, the front of the package says 3 grams net carb per serving, the back says - carbs 21 grams (7%) Fiber 2 grams (6%), so you subtract the fiber from the carbs which is 19 grams, but the front of the package says 3 grams?? I've noticed the low carb bars are like this too. So confusing! Oh, the sugar alcohol is 16 grams, I've heard that sugar alcohol is bad?? (These were Sweet'N Low Sugar Free Chocolate Wafer Bars, 3 to a serving, I ate one for now.)
