Keto Candy! Your eyes are not deceiving you, I promise. With these amazing homemade sugar-free candy recipes, you can enjoy the sweets and still stick to your healthy keto diet.
Homemade keto 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!

I own all of your books. They are very well written and east to follow. Everything I have done so far has turned out perfectly.
So my question is will or is the candy recipes already in a book that I can purchase or will it be in the future.
Thank you for all your help making our Keto eating be tasty.

No, sorry, these aren’t in any of my books at this point. 🙂
Susan Yakus says
Hi Carolyn,
I have been searching for a hard candy recipe, that so far I haven’t found. When I say hard, I mean like a lemon drop. Something you can suck on for awhile. Something that might even crack a tooth! That is what I really miss. Can you come up with something, or do you know of something? Thanks so much!
Carolyn says
Sorry, I’ve not had any luck with that.
Cindy L. Sullivan says
I Love all of your recipes and I think. I have all of your cookbooks, but I haven’t seen a recipe for Divinity. Do you have one for this? It would be greatly appreciated.
Carolyn says
I don’t have one. It’s not something I’ve ever even had.
Rhonda Webb says
Love your profile pic! Really great pic of you!
Carolyn says
Thank you!
Donna Houchins says
I seriously love all your recipes and am so grateful to you for creating them. 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
Carolyn says
Thanks, Donna. That’s how I feel too!
Nancy says
Where can I find a recipe for crunchy chocolate fudge? All I see are those that use peanut or another nut butter. I would love just chocolate. Thank you for this compilation! AND I love love love your cookbooks. I have your dessert cookbook filled with sticky notes!
Jenine Taylor says
What fun! I’m trying to match a photo to a recipe and can’t seem to figure out which one goes with the peanut butter cups pictured above the Almond Joy Easter Eggs in the “Keto Candy, the BEST recipes!” Block. They look amazing!
Keto LoVer says
omg the “Turtles from Maria Mind Body Health” looks amazing!!!
Jenny says
What 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!
Carolyn says
It’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/

Great job, Carolyn, and thanks for including my White Chocolate Pecan Bark in your roundup.
Victoria says
I’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!
