Maybe they changed them at some point. I just remember them being bubbly on the outside like egg rolls and having a similar texture. I guess egg roll wrappers are a type of dough.

What are you using it for, tea and coffee? Honey is probably the best alternative. Don't really know, though. Isn't there that agave shit or whatever it is?

Honey usually tastes wrong in coffee, sometimes mixes a little funny or seems to fall out.

They all have their own issues, none really approach sugar, and there are only three(?) main types: Equal/Sweet & Low, Splenda, and Truvia. I refuse to drink calories and football/baseball practice made me hate plain water; so I need some kind of sweetener for tea, daily.
I switched from Splenda to Truvia (Stevia) for a few years and once you get used to it, it's decent. It does take a week or so to get used to it's type of sweeting. There was some preliminary reports a couple years ago that Stevia may be linked to blood clots, and since I don't mind Splenda, I switched back.
If you want to get some wacky action, look up "Miracle Fruit." It actually changes how your tongue tastes things for a few hours at a time (not necessarily practical). Supposedly straight lemons and limes will taste like candy and Guinness taste like a chocolate milkshake.

See anything bad about monk fruit? Zero calorie is I've what I'm chasing. I was kinda ok with stevia but had seen it's own concerns

Haven't seen anything on the newish Monk Fruit stuff (nor tasted it) but haven't really been looking either. Kinda curious on how it tastes but it's the most expensive zero Cal sweetener and they don't sell it at Sam's or Costco, so never think to pick it up at the grocery store.
