Low Carb Candy! Your eyes are not deceiving you, I promise. With these amazing homemade candy recipes, you can enjoy the sweets and still stick to your healthy keto diet. Sugar free and keto friendly.
Low carb candy is a great way to satisfy that sweet tooth without giving in to sugary temptation. This post is updated to include even more great sugar-free candy recipes!
I have a sweet tooth and I am not afraid to use it. I know that some people believe a keto diet should be entirely free of sweets and treats but I am not one of those people. For me, food is not only about sustenance, but about enjoyment. It’s more than just fuel – it’s celebration and family and living life to the fullest.
A little bit of dessert at the end of the day is the ultimate form of self care. Especially when that treat is sugar-free and keto friendly. And being able to indulge a bit here and there actually keeps me on track, rather than making me want to stray.
I know many of you feel the same way. My website wouldn’t be half so popular if that weren’t the case!
Why make your own low carb candy?
So many of our modern celebrations and holidays revolve around candy, it can be very hard to avoid. Halloween, Christmas, Valentine’s Day, Easter… candy here, candy there, candy candy everywhere. Our kids get loads of it from school and friends, and even your office has a candy bowl.
If you have a major sweet tooth, having all that candy around can be a huge source of stress. You know that stuff is awful junk and so bad for both your health and your weight loss, but it’s calling your name. The siren’s call of temptation is hard to resist.
Well, you know what the best solution for that is? Your own healthy, homemade versions of the sugary stuff! It is possible to indulge without blowing your low carb diet. I love making my own candy and treats. And I make a lot of them, believe me!
I had first put this candy round up together back in 2014, but since then I’ve made so many new and delicious low carb candies. I realized I was doing you a disservice by not putting them all in one easy place to find.
I also gathered together the best recipes I could find from your favorite low carb bloggers. Believe me, with these recipes, you won’t miss a thing. And your kids might want to break into YOUR candy stash this year!

October 17, 2014 at 7:52 amI’ve been scared of making candy because of the whole temp-taking and seizing chocolate things. But since I make my own soap, for goodness sakes, I should be able to do this!

October 21, 2014 at 12:17 pmWhat is the picture in the lower right hand corner of your photo collage? Its really smoothe fudge-like looking squares in a glass bowl. I’ve gone through the whole list of recipe links (and printed off several of them to make later!) but I can’t seem to find that one. Thanks!

October 21, 2014 at 1:28 pmIt’s not fudge, it’s Kate’s Sport Gummies. That may be why you couldn’t find it. http://kateshealthycupboard.com/gluten-free-recipes/chocolate-coconut-sport-gummies/

I’ve referred quite a few people to your website and like you, I believe a nice sweet treat is a must. It got me into trouble for 50+ years but now, thanks to you, I can enjoy and still fit into my clothes
