The rise in popularity of low-carb diets has made life more accessible for people with blood sugar concerns. It’s normal to find low-carb products in the supermarkets these days. You don’t have to visit specialty stores to find low-carb baking supplies. And shops carry multiple kinds of low-carb breads and other pre-made foods.
For most of the year, living with blood sugar concerns is easier than ever. But Halloween never gets easier. There is candy everywhere. It is stacked high in the stores. We have shared tons of low-carb candy recipes in the past; today, we are sharing delicious low-carb candy recipes you can make on the stovetop that will keep you out of the candy aisle.
If you have just one candy recipe, this should be it. It can make everything from taffy and chewy caramels to lollypops and hard candies. This recipe walks you through different variations for how to make many candies. At its base, it’s just butter, sweetener, sugar-free vanilla syrup and salt. Then you build from there! A serving has about 11 calories, 1.7 grams of carbs and 0.7 grams of fat. Get the recipe.
Pralines are a creamy, fudge-like candy. The pralines will be crunchy if this is cooked too hot or too long. They will still be tasty but won’t be the tasty treat your teeth sink into. If the caramel is golden, thick and smells buttery and sweet, it’s done. You’ve gone too far if it starts to go dark or smell like it’s turned to caramel. A serving has 145.2 calories, 1.7 grams of carbs, 0.9 grams of fiber and 15.6 grams of fat. Get the recipe.
Standard peanut brittle is just peanuts bound together by sugar. It’s wonderful. However, few people with blood sugar concerns will reach for it. This version removes the sugar. But it keeps the recipe simple, using only three ingredients. You’ll love it and make it over and over again. By adjusting the amount of sweetener, you can decide how hard you want the brittle to be. We like the fact that you won’t break your teeth on it, the way it’s currently written! A serving has 66 calories, 1.9 grams of carbs, 0.8 grams of fiber and six grams of fat. Get the recipe.
This recipe has a lot of inactive time. Read it beforehand and know what you’re signing up for! It’s a tasty, layered candy. But each layer has to set for at least an hour. While it’s easy to make, it has a lot of inactive time! We love that this recipe yields a homemade candy bar. It’s like a better-for-you Skor bar. Sometimes, the only thing that will hit the spot is a candy bar! A serving has 100 calories, three grams of carbs, two grams of fiber and nine grams of fat. Get the recipe.
We hope these recipes help you stay out of the candy aisle until the end of the month. Halloween is always a trying time for people with blood sugar concerns. But it will be over soon!
